The three constraints on Influence Operations - Digital Threat Digest
This knowledge is vital when managing the day-to-day running of all aspects of security risk for those environments. This training also discusses how to forward plan to help mitigate and reduce risks as well as identifying and responding to a cyber incident, and is suitable prerequisite learning for PGI’s Industrial Control Systems Security Analyst training.
Our experts have worked in partnership with the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) and the Centre for the Protection of National Infrastructure (CPNI) in the UK, and leading Critical National Infrastructure (CNI) organisations.
This training can be delivered virtually for our public training courses, or closed training courses can be booked for classroom training at our London or Bristol facilities, or at our clients’ premises.
Aim
By the end of this training, participants will know how to fully understand the security risks facing their ICS environments, including the supply chain, protecting industrial control environments and best identifying and supporting their organisations’ cyber security and risk mitigation/reduction strategies for those ICS environments.
Audience
If you are a practitioner involved with ICS procurement/ implementation/ audit/ maintenance or part of an ICS environment supply chain and/or people who need full awareness of the security risks to these environments, including:
- Site/Asset User or Operator
- Site/Asset IT/ICS Support engineer
- Site/Asset Physical security/Facilities Management professional
Learning outcomes
By the end of this training, participants will be familiar with:
- How to identify what current and emerging threats their ICS environments face
- Where their ICS environments may be vulnerable
- What actions they need to take to secure those environments and help reduce the risk
- How to prepare for and handle a cyber security incident in those environments
Prerequisites
There are no pre-requisites for this course and no laptop is required. A handbook with supporting material is provided.
Participants can earn 12 CPE credits.
