The objective of this course is to provide practical and immediately usable information to professionals on how to protect both data and infrastructure from the ravages of electronic terrorism and associated cyber crimes. Once only a topic for made-for-television thrillers, cyber terrorism has captured global front page headlines and reported top news stories from every facet of commerce. Individuals engaged in international, industrial espionage, organized crime, competitive intelligence gathering, political warfare, and destruction of critical infrastructure pose a threat to governments, organizations and citizens alike.
This course is designed to provide the attendee with a fresh examination of the inherent risks associated with individuals or groups, who use cyberspace to threaten international governments, interfere with domestic operations, terrorize the citizens of a country, and attempt to disrupt corporate operations and how to minimize exposure to these risks.
