The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) is expanding its ChemLock program with a new Security Awareness Training course designed to help employees at all levels understand their critical role in chemical security. This free, interactive training provides real-world strategies to help protect facilities from theft, misuse, and potential terrorist threats involving dangerous chemicals.
The first session will be held virtually on March 27 at 11 AM ET (8 AM PT), offering participants an engaging and practical learning experience—without the complicated jargon.
Why This Training Matters
Chemical facilities are key targets for bad actors looking to exploit dangerous chemicals for malicious purposes. Whether through theft, sabotage, or cyber attacks, these threats pose serious risks to public safety and national security.
CISA’s ChemLock Security Awareness Training is designed to empower employees with the knowledge and skills needed to spot threats early, take proactive security measures, and report suspicious activity before it escalates.
What You’ll Learn
This one-hour, no-cost course covers essential topics, including:
- Identifying warning signs of potential threats before they escalate.
- Recognizing suspicious behaviors linked to criminal or terrorist activities.
- Understanding how chemical theft or misuse can occur—and how to prevent it.
- Knowing why timely reporting is crucial and how employees can help safeguard their facilities.
The course will also provide real-world case studies on previous attacks involving dangerous chemicals, the eight typical signs of terrorism, and the potential consequences of chemical-related threats.
This training is ideal for anyone working in or around facilities that handle dangerous chemicals—from frontline employees and security personnel to managers and administrative staff. No prior security experience is needed, making it accessible for all employees, regardless of their role.
CISA’s ChemLock program is a completely voluntary initiative, offering no-cost services and tools to help businesses understand their risk and enhance their security posture in a way that aligns with their operations and business model.
