Course Overview
A control on critical national infrastructure protection that is never exercised is an assumption, not a defence. The value of preparation for infrastructure protection is only visible on the day it is needed. Participants leave with a method for the wider corporate security practice agenda, not a set of opinions about it. Plans for critical national infrastructure protection often fail at the handover point between functions. Participants develop a defensible line of reasoning for the choices they make about the practice within corporate security practice. Every module pairs a short input on infrastructure protection with structured practice on the participant's own material. Participants come from operational and oversight roles, and both perspectives on critical national infrastructure protection are used deliberately. Across sectors, teams that rehearse infrastructure protection outperform teams that only plan it. It closes by agreeing the smallest change to the corporate security practice discipline that would make a visible difference.
