LEARNING OUTCOMES

The goal in this seminar-format course is to learn about the guiding technical principles behind cybersecurity governance and management, and apply them critically to systems using operational technology / industrial automation and machine learning components. These technologies that are used in business processes which are based on different understanding of risk models and threat models. The participant will learn to think critically, what kind of cybersecurity governance or management principles are valid e.g. in OT systems emphasizing availability, or machine learning systems which are highly dependent on data.

In this special course, the participants will learn about the most common cybersecurity management/governance standards, and the upcoming risk management frameworks for e.g. operational technology (OT) and artificial intelligence (AI) and judge them critically with respect to business processes.
