Description
Our daily lives are inhabited by the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), often without our being aware of it. The world of transportation is no exception. For example, the rise of smart sensors is contributing to the emergence of the autonomous vehicle industry. Connected devices also enable a multitude of services such as real-time detection of traffic conditions and traffic signals, equipment and infrastructure failures, thereby offering a better journey to transportation users.
The extensive use of big data and artificial intelligence in transportation also highlights the importance of data security and cybersecurity threats. Training to equip professionals to face these challenges therefore proves essential and holds promise for the development of the electric and smart transportation sector.
The newly created certificate in Industrial Internet of Things trains specialists capable of acting effectively in an IIoT environment, with a significant emphasis on security. They will be able to analyze and develop innovative ecosystems and exploit the improvement potential offered by these applications. They will also be able to analyze the large quantities of data generated by the IIoT and use them to create commercial value. These specialists will also be able to implement a robust plan to secure the ecosystem.
The courses offered as part of this certificate cover industrial control systems, telecommunications, artificial intelligence, big data and cloud computing. Special attention is paid to network security in the IIoT, as well as to detecting attacks that may affect them.
Prerequisites
The certificate in Industrial Internet of Things is intended for graduates of certificate programs in cyber-investigation, cyber fraud and network cybersecurity, as well as for new students from organizations in the telecommunications sector, financial institutions, companies and Internet service providers, and all public and para-public organizations.
