    Critical Infrastructure Protection


    The critical infrastructure of a nation is the system of highly complex and interdependent physical and cyber-based assets essential to the minimum operations of a nation's economy and government. It includes, but is not limited to, communications, energy, banking and finance, transportation, water supply, and emergency services. It could be owned and operated by the government or the private sector, or both.

    This course begins by examining in depth the events of the past 20 years, including the lessons learned about the interdependencies of the critical infrastructures following the Oklahoma City bombing and the terrorist attacks against the World Trade Center and what we learned in the aftermath of hurricanes Katrina and Rita in the summer of 2005.

    Authored and presented by one of the nation's leading experts on critical infrastructure protection and cyber warfare, you will receive detailed explanations of specific pervasive Internet technical problems and conduct in-depth examinations of the types of attacks that might do the most harm to your organization and your infrastructure sector. We will take a comprehensive look at the current Internet governance model, and you will learn how to develop business continuity and disaster recovery plans to counter current cyber threats and threat actors that take advantage of this model. You will also gain knowledge about the new directions being taken by criminals, terrorists, spies, and nation states and what our nation is planning to do for the defense of our critical infrastructure against these new threats. Finally, you will learn how to protect your networks from the dangers lurking in cyberspace while developing a full understanding of emerging techniques used to detect and contain outbreaks of malicious activity on the Internet.

    This course has special admission requirements, please check the website for information.
