This episode examines Internet of Things (IoT) and Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems. IoT devices include sensors, cameras, and smart appliances that connect to networks, often with minimal security. SCADA systems control industrial processes such as manufacturing or power distribution, requiring high availability and resilience. These technologies are included on the exam because they represent expanding parts of the network landscape with significant implications.

Real-world considerations include segmenting IoT devices into separate networks to limit risk and ensuring SCADA systems are protected from unauthorized access. Troubleshooting examples include diagnosing weak wireless connectivity in IoT sensors or latency issues affecting control systems. By mastering IoT and SCADA concepts, you’ll be ready to recognize exam topics and secure critical environments in professional practice.
