Overview

The externship exercised offensive and defensive techniques against a real IoT deployment for a marina environment. The work mapped device roles and network flows, identified attack surfaces, and implemented protocol-level mitigations. Deliverables included an attack log, defensive configurations, and a security playbook handed to the sponsor.

What I've accomplished

I produced a STRIDE-based threat model for the Grand Marina IoT water system that documented seven critical risks and specified mitigations such as MFA, mTLS, network segmentation, encryption, and centralized logging.

Project breakdown

The project reviewed the Grand Marina IoT water system, applied STRIDE to map threats across devices, cloud, and dashboard, and produced a threat model listing seven critical risks with specific mitigations like MFA, mTLS, segmentation, encryption, and logging.

The externship project required generating realistic mock sensor data. I wrote a Python sensor log generator in Google Colab that produced timestamped hydrologic readings with controlled variation and saved logs for later analysis.
