POET is a three-day cyber foundational course designed for cleared industry personnel, military members, and government civilians tasked with supporting control systems, embedded assets, and critical infrastructure. It establishes a functional baseline for reverse engineering within the Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) domain, providing the technical framework necessary for further specialization.

Guided by our expert instructors, participants will gain hands-on experience identifying, disassembling, and interpreting software binaries using industry-standard tools like Ghidra. The curriculum moves beyond the OS level to analyze the physical layer, examining electronic components, firmware architectures, and the communication interfaces that link embedded peripherals within a CPS environment. Finally, you will use diagnostic instruments to observe and verify real-time electronic behavior.

Born out of necessity after dissatisfaction with available cyber training, POET delivers operator-in-the-loop training, advisory, and consulting support in technology, engineering, and cybersecurity, designed by defense experts and entrepreneurs in defense tech. This course is purpose-built to uplift current defense training with modules that build foundational understanding of technology design at the OS level.
