IDAHO FALLS -- Professionals from all over the country completed an advanced cybersecurity training course to learn how to better secure the nations critical infrastructures. “Critical infrastructure are those systems around us that are so critical that if they fail it would have a significant impact on life, on property, or on the economy of the United States,” Director of Industrial Control Systems Cyber Emergency Response Team for the U.S. Department of Homeland security Marty Edwards said. The Industrial Control Systems Cybersecurity training course is offered at the Idaho National Laboratory's Control Systems Analysis center, and is hosted by the DHS Industrial Control Systems Cyber Emergency Response Team. “This is probably the most sophisticated site in the world for this type of training,” Edwards said.“There aren’t very many companies what will allow for example their personnel to turn loose a virus inside their actual environment, to test or to play with how to defend agains it."
