Self-paced Foundational Series available now; sector-specific tracks and live tabletop exercises roll out over the next 12 months.

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. - Floridant -- Cyber Intelligence 4U (CIU) and the InfraGard New Jersey Members Alliance (NJIMA) today announced the launch of the AI & OT Governance Training Program. The 12-month initiative prepares the people who run New Jersey's critical infrastructure to recognize, contain and report AI-enabled attacks on operational technology (OT), the industrial control systems behind the region's power, water, transportation, manufacturing, financial and telecommunications services.

Adversaries are using AI to speed up reconnaissance, craft convincing phishing and voice-cloning lures, and move from corporate IT into plant-floor systems, where failures have physical consequences.

"Every organization in critical infrastructure now runs OT that adversaries are actively probing, and AI is making those attacks faster and cheaper," said Ariel Evans, Founder of Cyber Intelligence 4U. "Generic IT awareness training doesn't prepare an operator to spot a spoofed sensor reading or a cloned vendor's voice. This program was built for the people on the front line of New Jersey's infrastructure, sector by sector."

"New Jersey's infrastructure is interconnected, and an attack on one sector rarely stays there," said Alexandra Tarabour, President, InfraGard New Jersey Members Alliance. "This program brings our members together across sectors to work through real scenarios, so the people defending a water utility, a hospital network and a rail line are learning from each other before an incident, not after."

Program highlights

- Foundational Series, available now: a self-paced online course of five modules (AI Literacy, OT/ICS Security, Threat Awareness, AI Governance, and Incident Reporting).
- Nine sector tracks, from Financial Services and Energy to Water, Nuclear and the Defense Industrial Base, released quarterly through 2027.
- Live tabletop exercises built from real incidents in each sector.
- Content mapped to NIST AI RMF, NIST CSF, IEC 62443 and NERC CIP.

Availability

The Foundational Series is open for enrollment at https://www.cyberintelu.online/challenge-page/c98d03bb-de58-446f-8ace-6e9eda6ec153 . NJIMA members pay $500 (25% off the $625 list price).
