MTSI’s Cyber Attack Methods Course: Hands-On Training to Defend Cyber-Physical Systems

Cyber-physical systems—those that connect the cyber and physical worlds—attract attackers because successful breaches can cause real-world physical damage. Think of Stuxnet, which disrupted Iran’s uranium enrichment efforts, the 2015 cyberattack on Ukraine’s power grid, or recent intrusions into water treatment plants and factories.

Have you ever wondered how attackers pull off these kinds of operations? Do you see news of an attack and think, “How did they even come up with that?” Do you worry it could happen to your system?

Developers want to build secure systems, but vague intel reports and high-level warnings often fail to show them how attackers operate—or what concrete steps they can take to defend their systems.

MTSI’s Cyber Attack Methods (CAM) course bridges that gap. It puts you in the attacker’s shoes and walks you through real-world attack scenarios—system discovery, exploitation, and delivery of mission-impacting effects—all with your hands on the keyboard. We won’t turn you into a hacker, but we will teach you to think like one.

While the course targets systems engineers, system security engineers, and developers, anyone familiar with the Linux command line and some basic programming can benefit. This guided, self-paced virtual course keeps you hands-on without expecting you to hack through independently.

Take the course from the comfort of your home or office—and start thinking like an attacker so you can defend like one.
