Course in a Nutshell
A spate of cyber-attacks, some of which were quite persistent and severe, have recently affected government agencies as well as businesses in a wide range of industries, including the CIA, US Senate, IMF, Google, Lockheed Martin, Sony, Citigroup, and others. This has led the Pentagon to enunciate a formal cyber strategy and Leon Panetta, the US Defense Secretary, to warn that “the next Pearl Harbor we confront could very well be a cyber-attack.”
This two day course addresses the key issues of cyber security and cyber warfare. We will begin with an introduction to information, network, and computer security. We will then discuss in detail how these technologies can be influenced and attacked at a national, strategic level as part of a cyber-warfare campaign. The course is taught by someone currently involved in pushing the state-of-the-art of cyber security/warfare and is continually updated to include the latest research.
Customize It!
We can customize the content and duration of this course to the needs of diverse participant groups in business or government (military, homeland security, intelligence community). We can also calibrate the course’s “tech level” to the nature of the audience, such as technical professionals, managers/executives, or policy makers/strategists
