Date: 7-8 May 2026
Time: 0930-1700
Venue: Copthorne King's Hotel
Synopsis:
Modern defence systems—ranging from command, control, communications, computers, intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (C4ISR) networks to autonomous platforms—are increasingly dependent on complex, interconnected digital infrastructures. This dependency makes them high-value targets for sophisticated cyber adversaries, including nation-states, hacktivist groups, and organized cybercriminals.
This course provides a structured exploration of cybersecurity as applied to defense systems. It covers the threat landscape, the specific vulnerabilities of military and defense infrastructures, and the emerging technologies and tactical methods for detection, protection, and incident response. Through lectures, discussions, and hands-on exercises, participants will learn to evaluate, design, and implement resilient cybersecurity strategies in defense contexts.
