Cyber Security for Government and Critical National Infrastructure

Attacks on power, water, transport and government systems can disrupt entire economies and endanger the public. This course prepares public sector and utility teams to protect essential services against increasingly capable adversaries. Participants study threats to critical infrastructure across the region and build layered defences suited to constrained budgets and legacy systems.

What you will be able to do

  • Identify the threats and adversaries targeting critical national infrastructure.
  • Map dependencies between systems that support essential public services.
  • Apply layered defences that protect both legacy and modern systems.
  • Segregate operational systems from corporate and public facing networks.
  • Plan resilience and recovery for services the public depends on.
  • Coordinate response with national bodies and other sector operators.
