Cybersecurity Strategy for Railway Decision-Makers Comprehensive Course Registration

Welcome to the Cybersecurity Strategy for Railway Decision-Makers Comprehensive Course, presented by the Center for Critical Infrastructure Protection (CCIP) at the Transportation Technology Center (TTC) in Pueblo, Colorado.

Distinguished by its depth and breadth, this 8-hour virtual live course stands apart from our shorter offering by providing an immersive experience that fosters robust interaction, peer-to-peer learning, and practical application of cybersecurity principles. Unlike the limited interactivity of the Railway Cybersecurity Quick Course, our comprehensive program dedicates ample time for in-depth discussions, knowledge exchange, and hands-on exercises, providing participants in-depth looks into real-world scenarios and emerging threats facing the railway industry.

Key highlights of the Cybersecurity Strategy for Decision-Makers Comprehensive Course include:

• Extended Interaction — Participants benefit from extended interaction opportunities with both industry experts and peers, fostering a dynamic learning environment where experiences, challenges, and solutions are shared and discussed.
• Comprehensive Curriculum — Unlike the surface-level coverage of the 3-hour course, our comprehensive program delves deep into critical cybersecurity topics, providing executives with practical tools and strategies they can immediately put into action to proactively safeguard their organizations against cyber threats.
• Practical Application — Through demonstrations and practical exercises, participants learn how to translate theoretical knowledge into actionable plans, enabling them to make informed decisions and drive meaningful change within their organizations.
• Peer Learning — The course facilitates meaningful peer-to-peer learning opportunities, allowing participants to draw insights from the experiences of their industry counterparts, exchange best practices, and explore innovative approaches to cybersecurity challenges.
