Practical Critical infrastructure Workshop: Blueprint
RCCE students will learn critical infrastructure protection for sectors including energy, water, transportation, healthcare, and communications, covering sector-specific threats, regulatory frameworks, and defense strategies. RCCE students will learn to assess security posture for critical infrastructure environments, implement ICS-specific security controls, comply with frameworks like NERC CIP and IEC 62443, design network architectures that protect operational technology from IT-based threats, monitor industrial systems for cyber-physical attacks, conduct vulnerability assessments without disrupting operations, and coordinate with government agencies including CISA for threat intelligence sharing. This practice-intensive course emphasizes applied skills through lab exercises, real-world scenarios, and production-realistic workflows. Building on core knowledge, RCCE students will learn by doing, building muscle memory and practical confidence through repeated hands-on engagement. Students complete exercises that mirror actual workplace tasks, ensuring skills transfer directly to their professional roles.
