Data Centre and Critical Infrastructure Protection

Data centres, substations, water works and telecommunications hubs keep African economies running, and an attack or failure at these sites cascades far beyond the fence line. This comprehensive programme covers layered physical protection, resilience engineering and coordinated response for critical facilities. Participants learn to combine perimeter design, access control, monitoring and business continuity into a defence that keeps essential services available under threat.
