Overview

Critical Infrastructure Protection and Resilience Course is a five-day intermediate course for security, continuity, risk, operations, cyber-physical, and emergency teams who leave with a Critical Infrastructure Protection Improvement Plan. Participants connect essential service criticality, threat and hazard analysis, dependency mapping, protective security controls, incident coordination, continuity and recovery priorities, and security assurance. The course addresses physical, digital, supply-chain, and operational exposure through traceable decisions and exercises. Agile Leaders Training Center frames critical infrastructure security around service resilience.

Who Should Attend

Teams responsible for protecting essential services and critical assets
Functions coordinating operational resilience, continuity, and emergency planning
Personnel assessing enterprise, security, and cyber-physical risks
Groups managing facilities, control environments, suppliers, and service dependencies
Leaders overseeing incident coordination, recovery priorities, and security assurance

The course assumes participants can interpret risk, asset, incident, and continuity information, and it leaves out detailed engineering design, penetration testing, and sector licensing.

Departments and Industries

The course supports departments and industries responsible for critical infrastructure security and uninterrupted essential services.

Corporate security, risk, resilience, and business continuity
Operations, engineering, facilities, and asset management
Cybersecurity, industrial control, emergency, and crisis teams
Energy, water, transport, telecommunications, and healthcare
Utilities, logistics, public infrastructure, and industrial production

Learning Objectives

By the end of this course, participants will be able to:

Apply service criticality criteria to assets and functions
Analyze threats, hazards, vulnerabilities, and cascading consequences
Build dependency and interdependency maps for essential services
Evaluate layered protective security controls and third-party exposure
Prioritize incident, continuity, recovery, and information-sharing actions
Develop a Critical Infrastructure Protection Improvement Plan

Day 5: Protection and Resilience Practice

Exercise: Classify Essential Services and Critical Assets
Exercise: Trace Dependencies and Cascading Disruptions
Exercise: Select Layered Controls for a Cyber-Physical Scenario
Exercise: Coordinate Incident, Continuity, and Recovery Decisions
Capstone Exercise: Critical Infrastructure Protection Improvement Plan

Practical Exercises

The course uses suggested activities to convert critical infrastructure protection decisions into usable evidence.

Suggested activity: classify services, assets, functions, consequences, and decision owners with a criticality matrix.
Suggested activity: map upstream, downstream, and shared dependencies across energy, water, transport, and digital services.
Suggested activity: evaluate physical, cyber-physical, supplier, detection, and escalation controls against a disruption scenario.
Suggested activity: assemble incident, continuity, recovery, assurance, and improvement actions into a prioritized protection plan.

FAQs

Who suits the critical infrastructure protection course and what does it assume?

It suits personnel responsible for security, resilience, risk, operations, continuity, emergency planning, suppliers, or cyber-physical environments and assumes they can interpret basic asset, risk, incident, and continuity information.

How does critical infrastructure protection differ from a cybersecurity course?

Critical infrastructure protection integrates physical, personnel, cyber-physical, supplier, operational, continuity, and recovery controls, while a cybersecurity course usually concentrates on digital systems, information, and technical threats.

How are critical infrastructure dependencies assessed?

Dependencies are assessed by tracing the services, assets, utilities, data, suppliers, people, facilities, and decisions each function requires, then testing upstream, downstream, shared, and cascading effects under disruption scenarios.

How are protective security controls prioritized for essential services?

Protective controls are prioritized by service criticality, credible threat and hazard scenarios, vulnerabilities, consequences, existing safeguards, implementation dependencies, assurance evidence, and the time needed to sustain or recover essential delivery.

What belongs in a critical infrastructure improvement plan?

A critical infrastructure improvement plan records priority risks, control gaps, actions, owners, dependencies, resources, evidence, review points, incident lessons, continuity needs, and measurable completion conditions.

Conclusion

Participants take back a Critical Infrastructure Protection Improvement Plan linking critical services, dependencies, risks, controls, incident coordination, continuity, recovery, and assurance. It turns fragmented security information into owned and prioritized actions across operational and support teams. The plan supports resilient service decisions without replacing specialist engineering, technical testing, or statutory approval.
