HRDC Reg. No: 10001658763
Duration: 5 Days

Course Overview

This intensive 5-day course provides a deep technical understanding of Bluetooth security across both Classic and Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) environments. Participants will explore how Bluetooth protocols enforce security, establish trust, and protect data through encryption, authentication, and key management.

The course combines protocol-level theory with real-world implementation and offensive security perspectives. Participants will learn to identify vulnerabilities, perform security assessments, and design secure Bluetooth-enabled systems for IoT, medical, industrial, and consumer applications.
