Course Overview
Government critical infrastructure—encompassing public administration networks, e-government platforms, national defence systems, public utilities, emergency services, transportation, and civic digital public goods—is increasingly targeted by advanced nation-state threat actors, cybercriminals, and sophisticated syndicates. A successful cyberattack against government critical infrastructure can paralyze public service delivery, compromise sensitive citizen data, undermine national security, and cause severe economic and societal disruption. This intensive five-day programme equips government officials, public sector executives, critical infrastructure regulators, IT directors, and security professionals with a comprehensive, practical framework to identify, assess, govern, and protect vital public systems. The curriculum covers public sector cybersecurity governance, regulatory frameworks, IT/OT convergence, threat intelligence, incident response, and national cyber resilience.
By the end of this course, participants will be able to:
- Understand the unique geopolitical and cyber threat landscape facing government and public sector critical infrastructure
- Establish robust national and organizational cybersecurity governance structures, policies, and accountability standards
- Distinguish between IT, OT, ICS, and SCADA environments within public utilities and civic infrastructure
- Conduct comprehensive cybersecurity risk assessments tailored to government assets and essential public services
- Implement advanced threat detection, logging, and security monitoring capabilities across public sector networks
- Strengthen network segmentation, secure remote access, and identity management protocols
- Develop effective cyber incident response plans, national crisis management arrangements, and inter-agency coordination protocols
- Manage third-party vendor risks, contractor security, and technology supply chain vulnerabilities
- Integrate cybersecurity with national emergency preparedness, disaster recovery, and civil protection frameworks
- Develop a practical 90-Day Government Critical Infrastructure Cybersecurity Improvement Roadmap
