This episode focuses on home automation systems and wearable technology, which are increasingly relevant in both consumer and enterprise contexts — and are covered in the CompTIA IT Fundamentals (ITF+) certification exam. You’ll learn how smart thermostats, lighting controls, security cameras, and voice assistants integrate with networks and cloud services to create connected environments.

We’ll also cover wearable devices such as fitness trackers, smartwatches, and medical monitors, examining how they collect and transmit data, and the privacy concerns they raise. These concepts prepare you to discuss both functionality and security when they appear in exam scenarios. Produced by BareMetalCyber.com.
