Course Description

This course explores how emerging technologies like Quantum Computing and Blockchain are reshaping global power, creating new security threats, and transforming critical infrastructure protection. Students will gain strategic and tactical insight into these technologies, learning to analyze risks, apply protective measures, and support national and economic security.

Course Objectives

  1. Understand the role emerging technologies play in allowing countries to gain economic and strategic advantage in the world economy.

  2. Apply that understanding to protecting Homeland Security, Critical Infrastructure and Industry.

  3. Demonstrate a basic understating of Quantum and Blockchain, and how they are likely to transform critical infrastructure protection.

  4. Analyze emerging technologies for potential opportunities and risks to critical infrastructure.

  5. Prioritize areas in for risk mitigation and resilience, whether in Critical Infrastructure or industry.

Target Audience

This course is designed for students and professionals pursuing careers in Homeland Security, critical infrastructure protection, emergency management, and related fields who want to better understand the rapidly evolving technological landscape. It is particularly valuable for individuals seeking to strengthen their ability to identify, assess, and respond to emerging threats posed by advanced technologies such as quantum computing and blockchain. Those with an interest in national security, risk management, or infrastructure resilience will benefit from the course’s focus on both strategic and practical applications.


Additionally, the course is well-suited for early to mid-career professionals in government, private industry, or academia who are responsible for safeguarding systems and operations in an increasingly complex threat environment. Learners do not need a deep technical background, but should have an interest in how innovation intersects with security, policy, and global competition, and a desire to apply that knowledge to real-world critical infrastructure challenges.
