Course Name:
911 PSAP Cyber Security Awareness and Assessment
Course Description:
This course introduces public safety personnel to common cybersecurity threats and vulnerabilities in the public safety answering point (PSAP) environment, including exposed networks and devices, shared passwords, and email phishing. The critical nature of 911/PSAP functions means cyber attacks could have a large-scale impact, making emergency communications centers across the nation high-value targets for those looking to disrupt public safety services, extort local governments, or simply create mischief. The 911 PSAP Cybersecurity Awareness Webinar also provides basic best practices to improve the secure use of emergency communications technologies in day-to-day operations.
Course Prerequisites:
None
Course Target Audience:
All PSAP personnel that could be affected by a cyber-threat including telecommunicators, supervisors and management.
