The Hydroficient externship simulated attacks against an operational IoT water-monitoring system and implemented defensive measures for that infrastructure. The work recreated attacks such as spoofing and replay, analyzed protocol and component interactions across sensors, brokers, and actuators, and implemented countermeasures like TLS and mTLS on the deployed stack.
I produced a professional threat model for a cloud-connected hotel water system that listed identified threats, assessed their likelihood and impact, and assigned risk ratings.
Faced with a cloud-connected hotel water system, I inventoried assets, applied CIA and STRIDE analysis, and identified top risks (missed alerts, dashboard compromise, device tampering). The deliverable listed threats with likelihood, impact, and risk ratings.
