Introduction to Cyber Warfare and Operations Design (ICWOD)
Learn the core set of skills needed to design and plan for cyberspace operations at all levels of the planning spectrum.
This course provides a basic understanding of full-spectrum cyberspace operations; the complexities of the cyberspace environment; and planning, organizing, and integrating cyber ops. The course consists of presentations and exercises that teach students how to design a cyberspace operations plan and bring it to fruition. Presented with an international conflict scenario, students are guided through a series of cascading exercises for conceptual, functional, and detailed planning. Following the design concept for problem framing students utilize the commander’s intent to plan toward the desired end state. In the course conclusion, students will have an appreciation for the planning process and have a fundamental understanding of how to plan for cyberspace operations.
PRICING: $1,795.00/per student - special group discounts may apply.
A BEAUTIFUL ICWOD CERTIFICATE OF COMPLETION WITH SECURITY FEATURES WILL BE ISSUED TO STUDENTS AFTER THE SUCCESSFUL COMPLETION OF THIS COURSE!
