GNL Cyber offers a wide range of tailored cybersecurity training courses, designed to address the changing cyber threat landscape.


• Cyber Simulator

Date: Four-hour sessions from 22 to 25 May 2018

This course enables IT professionals to experience complex cyber incidents in a simulated environment at various levels (basic,

intermediate and advanced) on IT and scada networks, and in a variety of operating systems.

This training is designed to strengthen and increase the efficiency of the cyber defence array in situations that simulate reality without the risks that are likely to occur in real-life conditions.


• General Cyber Security Awareness

Date: Variable dates

This is an engaging and interactive workshop which systematically explores the evolution of the global cyber threat and how this

affects both individuals and organisations. The cyber threat landscape is exemplified through case studies and videos, to enrich the learning experience.


• Cyber Crisis Communications

Date: Variable dates

This intensive Crisis Communication Training programme has been tailored to help company executives manage incidents before they escalate into potentially threatening media crisis situations. Participants will be carefully coached on tried-and-tested methods to avoid potential media pitfalls, which includes adopting a clear crisis management strategy, appointing a specific team to manage the situation from start to end, and doing a realistic damage assessment before the crisis actually strikes.
