Critical Infrastructure Digitalization and Resilience

FIU supports the CIDR program by engaging universities, training institutes, and critical infrastructure employers on ways to address the supply of and demand for trained cybersecurity workers, including through CIDR’s Cyber Pathways for Women initiatives. Since 2019, FIU facilitates analysis of national cybersecurity needs and options with working group members and other stakeholders so the group can make well-informed recommendations to decision makers, as well as organizes and facilitates regular meetings of country-led critical infrastructure cybersecurity working groups, which are comprised of stakeholders from government, critical infrastructure, the private sector, and academia.

  • IoT Security and Privacy
    June 19th - July 30th
     
    The main objective of this course is to provide the students with foundations of threats and security for various IoT devices/networks and present some solutions. The course covers introductory topics in IoT, cybersecurity, and their intersection. The goal is to expose students to fundamental security primitives specific to IoT and apply them to various current and future security challenges. The topics will cover the protocols for IoT, the security of IoT devices and communications, key management, and privacy.
     
    The course will expose the students to increasing threat escape in IoT with some essential hands-on experience. Six modules will have a 1-hour lecture and a corresponding 1-hour lab. The students must complete the labs and an assessment quiz for each module.
     
    This course is the first of a series of four classes. The subsequent courses are as follows in order of what will be taught next: 
    • Cyber-Physical Security of Critical Infrastructure
    • Business Continuity
    • Digital Forensics

  • Cyber-Physical Systems Security of Critical Infrastructure
    September 4th - October 15th
     
    The main objective of this course is to provide the students with the foundations of threats and security in CPS and present some of the solutions. The course covers introductory topics in cyber-physical systems (CPS), cybersecurity, and their intersection. The goal is to expose students to fundamental security primitives specific to CPS and apply them to various current and future security challenges. Many security countermeasures are taught, focusing on one instance of CPS - Industrial control systems. However, some concepts could be generalized to all other CPSes, including medical, transportation, and energy. The topics will cover cyber and physical attacks, security of CPS-specific communication protocols, device security, key management, and privacy.

  • Digital Forensics
    January 22nd - March 3rd
     
    The main objective of this course is to provide students with the foundation for the digital forensics field. The course presents a practical guide to digital forensics, methodologies, key technical concepts, and tools needed to perform examinations and media exploitation techniques. This course is geared toward people with a solid knowledge of computers, but no programming skills are necessary. The course topics include the fundamentals of forensic science, laws, and regulations relating to digital data, quality assurance and best practices in a digital laboratory, basic terminology, an introduction to forensic software, operating and file systems artifacts, and user artifacts.
     
    This course is the fourth of a series of four classes.
