Introduction

The networks that telecommunications operators run are among the most critical assets any economy depends on, which makes them a constant target and a single point of failure when things go wrong. Cyber threats against the sector are persistent and well-resourced, and a serious incident can take down services that millions rely on. Protecting against that is no longer a matter for the technical team alone, it is a governance responsibility that reaches the board.

This Cybersecurity Governance and Network Resilience training course approaches cybersecurity and resilience from that governance perspective. It examines how telecoms operators identify and govern cyber risk, build resilience into networks and services, and prepare to respond when an incident occurs. Grounded in recognised international standards, it gives leaders and specialists a shared language and a practical structure for protecting critical infrastructure and sustaining the services that depend on it.

Key focus areas of this Cybersecurity Governance and Network Resilience training course include:
