Cybersecurity has become an ever-increasing threat for public safety. Emergency communications centers (ECCs) are a valuable and vulnerable target for bad actors of all types. As a result of their high importance and visibility within the public safety ecosystem, ECCs have been battling cyberattacks for years. Public safety is at constant risk for many types of cyberattacks. Research indicates that the frequency and intensity of cyberattacks will continue to grow.
All ECC employees need to be educated on the types of cyberattacks and related activity that occur daily in the United States. This course provides a basic overview of the critical pieces of information that all ECC employees should know – from surfing the internet to being aware of key indicators in email for possible phishing attempts. This course also provides several resources for creating an Incident Response Plan and what to do if your ECC experiences a cyberattack.
This course is built on the experiences of public safety cybersecurity experts and ECC professionals. This course will provide ECC professionals with foundational knowledge of cyberattacks, including the anatomy of a cyberattack, signs of an ongoing cyberattack and mitigation techniques. This includes preparing for cyberattacks, response to those attacks and the type of data to protect for post-attack forensics.

- How Cyberattacks Work
- Why ECCs Are a Target
- Phishing
- Brute Force Hacking

This course is built on the foundation of the Cybersecurity Fundamentals for the ECC course. It is a two day, in-person course that will provide multiple cybersecurity Tabletop Exercises and infiltration techniques.
This course is designed for Public Safety Information Technology (IT) personnel, IT Leadership personnel who work on critical networks within emergency communications centers (ECCs) and ECC supervisory staff charged with IT and Cybersecurity responsibilities. This course will provide an understanding of a hacker’s perspective, motives, and weaknesses. It includes additional information on incident response by looking at the conditions that contribute to a network’s vulnerability and dissecting the step-by-step process of a cyber-attack. This process includes mitigation planning by learning to recognize an attack and stop the exploitation before it spreads. This course also covers recovery, and some forensics by learning what countermeasures can be taken before and during an attack to prevent further spread.
Topics Include:
- MITRE ATT&CK Matrix
- How hackers gain initial access
- Effective counter measures
- Assessing impact
- Identifying, responding, reporting, and recovering from a cyber attack
- Cyber Incident Response Plan
