Course Description

US FlagMGT384,  Preparing for Cyber Attacks and Incidents, is designed to prepare organizations and communities for the next cyber attack or incident. During this 16- hour course, participants will analyze cyber threats, vulnerabilities, and initial and cascading impacts of cyber attacks and incidents, evaluate the process for developing a cyber preparedness program, examine the importance and challenges of cyber related information sharing and discover low to no cost resources to help build cyber resilience. This course utilizes a team approach to capitalize on the synergy of traditional emergency response organizations, SLTT governments, military, and public and private operators of critical infrastructure.

As part of a Department of Homeland Security/Federal Emergency Management Agency (DHS/FEMA) cooperative agreement training program, this course is available at no direct cost to state, county, and local government agencies.

Individuals completing this course in combination with AWR376, AWR169, AWR177, AWR395, AWR399, and AWR176 are awarded the Cybersecurity Awareness Certificate.
