COURSE OVERVIEW

This two-day, non-technical cyberspace course is designed for leaders and personnel that team with Department of Defense (DoD) cyberspace organizations. The course will focus on analysis of vulnerabilities and threats to the U.S. Critical Infrastructure; whole of government cyberspace responses to threats; and protection and defense of the homeland.

The national and economic security of the United States depends on the reliable functioning of Critical Infrastructure. The DoD works with its interagency partners [Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Department of Justice (DOJ), the Intelligence Community (IC), and others], state and local governments, and the private sector to deter and if necessary, defeat cyberattacks on the U.S. homeland and U.S. interests.

Attendees will develop a better understanding of DoD’s homeland defense and security cyberspace operations, as well as the roles and responsibilities of other national level actors (DHS, DOJ, the IC, and others). Technical and tactical cyberspace experts can benefit from this course by understanding how National policies and strategies guide their activities. Attendees will receive copies of the presentation along with some relevant white papers.
