Why this program matters

Without mastery of OTA Updates, remote updates for connected devices expose your systems to critical vulnerabilities and unexpected downtimes.
70 % of IoT security incidents stem from faulty OTA deployments, generating average costs of 750 000 € per breach in product recalls and lost operations.
A rollout error can paralyze entire fleets, causing a 25 % drop in monthly revenue and damaging your technical team's reputation.
Every quarter without expertise, risks accumulate, threatening your company's competitiveness in a rapidly exploding IoT market.

Program

Module 1Introduction to OTA Updates and Architecture

General presentation of OTA (Over-The-Air) updates, typologies (differential, full, firmware, software), overview of protocols (MQTT, HTTP, HTTPS, CoAP). Study of use cases (connected objects, vehicles, industry). Definition of OTA architectures: client, server, middlewares, version management and reporting.

Module 2Technical Implementation of OTA Updates

Deployment of an OTA infrastructure with demonstration on microcontrollers and embedded OS. Development of the OTA client: partition management, integrity verification, update atomicity, rollback strategies. Creation of an OTA server: hosting, REST API for device management, deployment campaign management. Hands-on with compatible Cloud platforms (AWS IoT, Azure IoT, GCP IoT).

Module 3Security, Supervision and Maintenance

Securing updates: encryption, digital signatures, certificate validation. Error management: logs, alerting, real-time monitoring. Validation and testing steps before mass deployment. Study of industrial feedback on problems and solutions encountered. Definition of a device maintenance policy via OTA, lifecycle management advice and documentation. Synthesis and practical project: configure a complete OTA cycle on simulated equipment.

Evaluation method

Final practical case: deploy a secure update on a simulated device
Quiz to validate knowledge acquisition

Our method

Training quality, guaranteed at every step

Before, during, after: we frame the brief, introduce the trainer, tailor the content and measure impact. You stay in control from kickoff to wrap-up.

Step 1

Rigorous trainer selection

Each trainer is validated on three criteria: hands-on field expertise, proven pedagogy and alignment with your industry.

Triple validation: technical, pedagogical, sectoral.
Minimum rating 4.8/5 over the last 12 sessions.

Step 2

You meet the trainer beforehand

30-minute video call between you and the selected trainer to validate the fit, adjust content and clear any final doubts.

Live briefing on goals and team context.
Veto right — we swap the trainer for free if needed.

Step 3

Content tailored to your context

No recycled slides. The syllabus is reworked from your real cases: tools, constraints, vocabulary, ongoing projects.

Hands-on cases drawn from your stack and projects.
Program co-written then validated by your team.

Step 4

Continuous quality follow-up

Live evaluations, 30/90/180-day check-ins and a consolidation plan. If the impact misses the mark, we rework it.

NPS, knowledge quizzes and skills self-assessment.
Satisfaction guarantee: fully satisfied or free rework.

A simple promise: you don't pay to discover the trainer on day one. Everything is validated upfront, by you.
