PCIP Class 1 - CIP Program Course
The four-day CIP Program Course provides the strategic perspective
of Critical Infrastructure Protection (CIP) in order to
provide a complete coverage of the CIP specialty. While
CIP is not complicated, it is certainly complex, and a CIP
professional must have a strong overall understanding of
the interdependencies, information sharing requirements,
governance, and accountabilities within the ten (10) Canadian
CIP sectors and thirteen (13) American sectors. In this
class, CIP sectors are compared and key differences are
highlighted. Standardized nomenclature and CIP terms used
within this emerging specialty are reviewed, and perspectives
among various countries are highlighted. Within a sector,
the CIP professional must be able to identify and quantify
critical infrastructure in support of business objectives.
This class teaches useful methodologies for conducting criticality
assessments. As well, students will work with a model that
will facilitate CIP-related risk assessments, taking an
“all-hazards” approach, and the subsequent determination
of appropriate, cost-effective safeguards that are a judicious
resource-based and procedural mix. Students gain a practical
understanding of the unique threats, vulnerabilities and
risks within the various sectors, as well as sector-specific
safeguards and program considerations. As in the other PCIP
course modules, students interact with the facilitators
and colleagues to gain a firm understanding through challenging
hands-on exercises and case studies. The last two periods
of the course are taken up with an examination, consisting
of nine questions that test the major concepts taught on
the course. Students prepare short narrative answers (no
more than 10 minutes per question) that are scored on both
content and argument.
While
it is recommended to take the Program course first in the
series, candidates may opt to attend the PCIP Class 2 CIP
Technical Course beforehand. However, both the Program and
Technical Courses must be completed before the PCIP Class
3 CIP Applied Course may be undertaken.
