KRITIS Certificate Course
Human Factors and Fundamentals of Drone Defense for Critical Infrastructure Companies
The seminar lays the foundation for effective drone defense by teaching the human, organizational, and legal aspects of protecting critical infrastructure. Participants learn to understand KRITIS requirements and establish the necessary processes to make informed decisions about detection and defense systems.
While technical solutions are increasingly available, people remain crucial for effective implementation. The seminar focuses on human factors, training, and decision-making skills in critical situations. Security personnel and KRITIS operators gain the necessary understanding of legal and procedural aspects to respond to drone threats in a legally compliant manner.
