Critical Infrastructure Resilience and Community Lifelines – MGT-414 (FLYER here)
In this course participants will enhance their skills to formulate considerations for the resiliency of jurisdictional assets
leveraging cross-sector partnerships. These considerations will enhance the whole community’s ability to manage the risk
associated with critical infrastructure protection efforts. The course will implement the National Preparedness Goal and
formulate considerations for improving community resilience and develop an understanding of Community Lifelines.

Physical and Cybersecurity for Critical Infrastructure – MGT-452 (FLYER here)
The purpose of the Physical and Cybersecurity for Critical Infrastructure course is to increase collaborative efforts among
and between individuals and organizations responsible for both physical and cybersecurity. This collaboration will lead
toward the development of integrated risk management strategies that lead to the enhanced capabilities necessary for the
protection of our nation’s critical infrastructure. The course identifies physical and cybersecurity concerns impacting overall
infrastructure security posture, examines integrated physical and cybersecurity incidents as well as the evolving risks and
impacts they pose to critical infrastructure. It also introduces key concepts and resources that can be applied to improve
security within an organization, business, or government entity.
