Overview

During my externship with Hydroficient, I built, hacked, and defended real IoT infrastructure. I launched realistic cyberattacks and implemented various defenses, culminating in a comprehensive security playbook tailored for the company. This hands-on experience deepened my understanding of IoT security and the potential risks associated with vulnerabilities in water monitoring systems.

What I've accomplished

I produced a threat model for The Grand Marina's water monitoring system that inventoried assets with CIA priorities, applied STRIDE across components, and rated scenarios by likelihood, impact, and overall risk.

Project breakdown

The module presented The Grand Marina's water monitoring system, I inventoried assets with CIA priorities, applied STRIDE to devices, dashboard, API and controls, and produced a threat model with scenarios, likelihood, impact and risk ratings.
