During my externship with Hydroficient, I developed practical skills in IoT cybersecurity by building, attacking, and defending IoT infrastructures. I executed various cyberattack simulations and implemented robust security measures, ultimately delivering a comprehensive security playbook to the company.
I produced a prioritized threat model for the HYDROLOGIC system that applied the CIA Triad and STRIDE, enumerated attack scenarios, and recommended mitigations for each identified risk.
During the Hydroficient externship I mapped the HYDROLOGIC system, applied the CIA Triad and STRIDE to each component, listed attack scenarios, and produced a prioritized threat model with recommended mitigations.
A project module required generating mock IoT telemetry. I implemented a WaterSensor class, debugged counter and timestamp logic, produced 100 realistic readings including anomalies, and exported the resulting sensor_data.json for downstream use.
