Overview of the Certified Internet of Things Security Practitioner Exam
The ITS-110 certification validates the competency of cybersecurity professionals, network engineers, and system architects in securing interconnected IoT ecosystems. Candidates must demonstrate proficiency in mitigating vulnerabilities across the hardware, firmware, and communication layers while implementing robust encryption protocols like TLS and DTLS. The curriculum focuses on securing MQTT and CoAP messaging frameworks, managing device identity through PKI and digital certificates, and enforcing secure boot sequences. Practitioners assess risks within cloud-integrated environments, applying NIST IoT security guidelines and OWASP IoT Top 10 countermeasures to harden gateways, sensors, and edge computing nodes against firmware exploits, unauthorized data exfiltration, and unauthorized network access.
