Overview

Applied Cybersecurity Concepts for Engineering, Design, and Construction Projects

Course Description

This course provides hands-on application of cybersecurity concepts to construction engineering and design projects. You’ll learn to apply industry standard and governmental cybersecurity policy, process, procedures, and controls to construction projects while solving realistic design and implementation problems. The exercises will be accomplished by small groups, providing the types of role-based interaction that may involve you during all phases of engineering, design, and construction projects. The course will also provide an opportunity to discuss current and relevant policy and practice requirements with peers and instructors.

What You Will Learn

  • Practical cybersecurity risk assessment approaches and application to construction projects
  • Tools and techniques for capturing the complexity of a project that includes a cybersecurity viewpoint
  • Tools and techniques for capturing the thought processes, threats, and threat vectors associated with an attacker
  • Problem solving techniques that integrate both given and derived cybersecurity requirements into design, review, and management solutions to construction problems and projects
  • Requirements derivation from higher level policy and standard practice for construction projects to be incorporated into the planning, design, implementation, and oversight of construction projects
  • Peer review techniques that can increase the cybersecurity posture of the final construction project deliverable
  • Current and common threats to construction and industrial type projects and capabilities
  • Individual role-based responsibilities for construction projects and the dependency upon other roles throughout the whole project lifecycle
