Instructor: Tom Muehleisen, Director of Cyber Operations for Norwich University Applied Research Institutes
Developed with funding from the Department of Homeland Security, the DECIDE® platform has been a trusted cybersecurity live exercise solution for more than a decade. The platform's unmatched combination of needs-based threat scenarios, strategic analytics, and communications mapping has been proven time and again in distributed sector-wide live exercises, organizational trainings, and in smaller board room settings.
In these three training blocks, the facilitator/instructor will guide students to an understanding of basic exercise structure and how to apply it to their own organization, top to bottom, using a distributed, synchronous environment like Decide®.
Each course is divided into three 90-minute sessions over the two days.
