 iCollege Faculty Lead Cyber Seminars for Government Officials from Latin America By Gilliam Duvall
                iCollege
 Two of the iCollege's esteemed Cyber faculty provided a two-part cyber lecture series for 40 students from Latin America at the William J. Perry Center for Hemispheric Defense Studies (CHDS) at the National Defense University as part of the "Perspectives of Homeland Security and Defense" course (PHSD) on September 16 & 17, 2014. The PHSD is a four-week course for senior executives from institutions in Latin America that deal with homeland security and defense. Professor Gil Duvall, Engr., gave a presentation on "Cybersecurity and Cyberterrorism" which analyzed the difficult challenges of technical and policy considerations on a set of issues in detecting and deterring existing threats in the cyberspace and implementing effective safeguard measures.  This was followed on the second day by Professor John Saunders, Ph.D., with a presentation on "Industrial Control System and SCADA Vulnerabilities," which examined international communications and technology (ICT) issues essential to preserving a nation's critical infrastructures and key resources.  The PHSD course begins with a two-week distance learning phase followed by a two-week resident phase conducted at the William J. Perry Center in Washington DC. and in USNORTHCOM Headquarters in Colorado Springs, Colorado. The course permits participants to analyze and compare the nature and the scope of transnational perspectives on homeland security and defense; including considerations for border security, preservation of critical infrastructure, response to terrorism, interagency coordination, maritime and port security, nuclear plant safety, cyber crime, and continuity of government.Gil Duvall speaking
