About Course

This course is designed as a tabletop activity simulating a community-wide cybersecurity event. Using a gamification approach, participants will strategize with a diverse group of stakeholders to plan for and respond from a cybersecurity incident that could have cascading effects across a community.
Specifically, this training will encourage participants to discuss budgeting and planning strategies; coordinate with other community stakeholders to respond to a cyber incident; and will inform participants of various recovery aspects that may be included in a cybersecurity program.

Objectives

Upon successful completion of this course, participants will be able to:

  • Participants will be able to summarize the relationship between organizational and community cybersecurity
  • Develop an action plan for organizational or community cybersecurity preparedness
  • Describe the cascading effects that a cyber-attack may have in a community
  • Given a set of limited resources, decide which cybersecurity planning efforts can be implemented in an organization
  • Relate how the NIST Cybersecurity Framework categories can be used to create or enhance a cybersecurity program
  • Evaluate how information sharing can be used to prevent, detect, mitigate, respond and recover from a cybersecurity incident

Target Audience

Non-technical government, private sector and critical infrastructure decision makers, mid-level management, policymakers and administrators. This course is also useful for information security and cybersecurity personnel and can provide meaningful conversations when accompanied with additional organizational leadership who support and influence organizational and community cybersecurity preparedness.
