Course Description

US FlagMGT384,  Preparing for Cyber Attacks and Incidents, is designed to prepare organizations and communities for the next cyber attack or incident. During this 16- hour course, participants will analyze cyber threats, vulnerabilities, and initial and cascading impacts of cyber attacks and incidents, evaluate the process for developing a cyber preparedness program, examine the importance and challenges of cyber related information sharing and discover low to no cost resources to help build cyber resilience. This course utilizes a team approach to capitalize on the synergy of traditional emergency response organizations, SLTT governments, military, and public and private operators of critical infrastructure.
