16 Hours Instructor-Led Course

This two-day course guides SLTT and critical infrastructure stakeholders through a structured, collaborative process for conducting a community-level cybersecurity gap analysis.

This National Cybersecurity Preparedness Consortium (NCPC) training course is delivered by Norwich University Applied Research Institutes (NUARI). NCPC courses are fully funded by DHS/FEMA and provided at no direct cost to participants.

Course Description

Communities face an increasingly complex and evolving cyber threat landscape that no single organization can address alone. A resilient cybersecurity posture requires a whole community approach, where key organizations - including government, critical infrastructure and private sector partner - work together to assess and strengthen their collective capabilities. 

By bringing stakeholders together, participants will learn to develop a comprehensive community cybersecurity profile, assess risks, benchmark current capabilities against recognized frameworks, and identify gaps in training programs.

Upon completion of this course, students will be able to:

• Develop a comprehensive cybersecurity profile for their community, identifying organizational stakeholders, existing plans, and regulatory requirements
• Assess cybersecurity risks by identifying threats, vulnerabilities, and evaluating their likelihood and impact
• Identify and prioritize cybersecurity training needs
• Develop a prioritized action plan to address identified cybersecurity training gaps and improve community resilience

Target Audience

Multi-disciplinary personnel at the community or jurisdictional level, including government administrative, emergency services, critical infrastructure, or someone whose primary role is cybersecurity planning. 

Prerequisites

United States citizen, permanent resident, or prior approval is required to attend this class.

NUARI, as a member of the National Cybersecurity Preparedness Consortium (NCPC), is a FEMA training provider.

A FEMA Student Identification (SID) number is necessary for registering and participating in any training offered by FEMA, as well as for the registration systems and enrollment processes of all FEMA training providers. The FEMA SID will serve as your unique identifier and be used to maintain the record of any FEMA training you attend. Obtaining and registering with FEMA’s Student Identification system is a one-time step, and the number can then be used to take training with FEMA or any FEMA training provider. Registering with a FEMA SID number ensures NUARI and the NCPC can continue to provide training at no cost, made available through congressionally designated funding awarded by FEMA’s U.S. Department of Homeland Security National Training and Education Division.
