Session
What Engineers Need to Know About Cyber and Why (and are not getting this in school).
This workshop uses a case study of a hypothetical engineering project to support discussion and application of the principles for Cyber-Informed Engineering (CIE) throughout the workshop. The scenario draws from a selection of real-world case studies, is fictional, and is crafted to support the application of CIE principles. Workshop participants get a workbook to structure their journey, capture insights and lessons learned, and provide a useful takeaway item that can further conversations after the event.
This is a hands-on workshop filled with exercises to develop understanding of the principles of Cyber Informed Engineering. This training event is designed for anyone who is interested in learning a methodology of designing out cyber-risk before a system is placed into operation.
