Inzpire delivers UK cyber security training

Inzpire has delivered a week-long cyber security and resilience training course to senior military and civilian ministry personnel on behalf of the UK Ministry of Defence.

The personnel from the defence, security, interior, and state intelligence ministries, received training on a wide range of cyber security topics including cyber strategy, risk governance and the importance of building security in order to protect cyber assets. 

Delegates studied UK cyber doctrine and best practice examples from the UK National Security Cyber Centre, with information delivered through a mix of theory and practical training. The course culminated in students participating in a full day practical training exercise to ensure that on completion, they would be able to effectively apply their learning in a real-world scenario.

Graham Basnett, principal trainer and Inzpire cyber lead, said: ‘Highly sophisticated cyber-attacks by nation states and criminal organisations over the past decade have demonstrated that advanced and persistent threats will often get through.

‘That is why Inzpire’s training doesn’t just focus on strategic level structures for improving cyber security within an organisation, but also on the operational level planning and training required to fight through a successful major attack on or through cyberspace.’
