Sector-specific tracks and live tabletop exercises roll out over the next 12 months.\n\n## What the Foundational Series Covers\n\nThe Foundational Series is a self-paced online course of five modules: AI Literacy, OT/ICS Security, Threat Awareness, AI Governance and Incident Reporting. Enrollment is open at the company's program page.\n\nThe program also includes nine sector tracks, from Financial Services and Energy to Water, Nuclear and the Defense Industrial Base, released quarterly through 2027. Live tabletop exercises are built from real incidents in each sector, and content is mapped to NIST AI RMF, NIST CSF, IEC 62443 and NERC CIP.\n\nAriel Evans, founder of Cyber Intelligence 4U, said adversaries are using AI to speed up reconnaissance and move from corporate IT into plant-floor systems. \"Generic IT awareness training doesn't prepare an operator to spot a spoofed sensor reading or a cloned vendor's voice,\" Evans said. Alexandra Tarabour, president of the InfraGard New Jersey Members Alliance, said the program brings members together across sectors to work through real scenarios.\n\nOrganizations can sponsor the program at $25,000 (Bronze), $50,000 (Silver) or $100,000 (Gold). InfraGard is a partnership between the FBI and the private sector; the New Jersey Members Alliance is an independent 501(c)(3) nonprofit, and the program is not sponsored, endorsed or administered by the FBI.\n\n## Cyber Intelligence 4U's Funding and Scale\n\nCyber Intelligence 4U is a New York-based cybersecurity and AI governance education company founded in 2018, according to akta.pro [company records](https://akta.pro/company-data). The same records list a September 2020 pre-seed round of $1.2 million, the only disclosed capital event, and total funding of $1.3 million.\n\nThe records list more than 5,000 students, more than 100 education programs and more than 400 advisors, including CISOs, CIOs, CTOs, DPOs and cyber attorneys. They also note a 2020 publishing partnership with Routledge for an AI Governance book.\n\n## Other Cyber Training Launches\n\nMastercard launched its free SME Academy: Cybersecurity platform for European small businesses, targeting 10 million SMEs by 2030 with initial availability in Ireland, Italy, Poland and the UK, [FinTech Magazine reported](https://fintechmagazine.com/news/mastercard-delivering-essential-cyber-training-to-smes) on November 3, 2026.\n\nSingtel and Dart launched a five-day Advanced Persistent Threat Detection and Response Programme for cybersecurity professionals across Singapore's 11 Critical Information Infrastructure sectors, [Telecompaper reported](https://www.telecompaper.com/news/singtel-and-dart-launch-cyber-training-programme-for-critical-infrastructure--1587744) on November 4, 2026.\n","publisher":{"name":"News for Agent","url":"https://newsforagent.com"}}
