Cyber Incident Awareness Training
Emergency managers are prepared to respond to disasters in the physical world but as critical infrastructure is increasingly dependent on cyber, first responders are confronted by a new set of challenges. Meanwhile, IT professionals understand these challenges, but are internally focused on protecting their systems and information rather than the broader repercussions that a cyber incident could have on their community. Since a significant cyber incident with impact on critical infrastructure could require a coordinated response by emergency management and IT professionals, it’s important that they know how to communicate with one another.
Norwich University Applied Research Institutes (NUARI) fills this training gap with two courses. One course introduces the emergency manager to cyber; the other introduces the IT professional to emergency management. Each course is composed of five lessons focused on building a common situational awareness between emergency managers and IT professionals in the event of a cyber event with impact on critical infrastructure.
