The purpose of this online course is for students to understand DoD efforts to field resilient systems through Trusted Systems and Networks TSN methodology. TSN terms, policies, and requirements are discussed in the context of successful fielding of resilient systems. Since a continued awareness of information, communications, and technology ICT is critical to instill and maintain a DoD workforce, supply chain threats and vulnerabilities affecting mission critical hardware H/W and software S/W are discussed.

This course addresses specific aspects of cybersecurity related to aircraft avionic systems, going beyond traditional information technology systems. The course presents a five step vulnerability assessment and mitigation process, in which students learn how to discover, analyze, and consider mitigation of vulnerabilities in an avionic system. Significant topic areas including key cyber terms, factors related to cyber vulnerabilities and attacks, and how avionic systems are vulnerable to attacks. Real world examples of commercial exploitations are discussed to highlight system susceptibilities. In addition, the course will describe the principles of cyber hardening and resiliency and their relationship to protecting avionics systems. The course presents different hardening and resiliency approaches, and which approaches are appropriate given adversary attack methodologies, challenges, processes, and available access paths.

SYS341 is an intensive 40-hour, instructor-led course that includes eight small-group exercises in which attendees apply principles learned in the class to a representative case study weapon system. This course provides students assigned as Security Control Assessors and Representatives (SCA/SCAR), weapon system program office Information System Security Managers (ISSM), weapon system engineers, developmental and operational (DT/OT) testers and Mission Defense Team (MDT) members with the knowledge required to conduct architectural analyses to identify cybersecurity threats to weapon system designs and to assess and mitigate the cybersecurity vulnerabilities associated with those designs. The focus of SYS341 is on weapon systems in the sustainment phase of the system development lifecycle. Course Objectives: 1. Know core requirements of cyber risk assessments and authorization packages 2. Assess the cybersecurity mission risk to a weapon system 3. Build an acceptable authorization package

This workshop introduces participants to the importance of disciplined analytic tradecraft and the skills and techniques needed to progress through the early steps of product development. Upon completion of the workshop, participants will possess the skills to establish the parameters for their intelligence product by formulating appropriate intelligence questions. They will also be able to generate comprehensive preliminary assessments, laying a solid foundation for the development of a finalized intelligence product.

This workshop covers Structured Analytic Techniques in detail, providing participants with the necessary skills to adhere to Tradecraft Standards as outlined in ICD203. Students will be introduced to multiple techniques as well as how to use them appropriately and effectively at different points during the analytic process. Through interactive exercises and group discussions, participants will gain critical thinking skills, improved analytical rigor, and the ability to provide accurate and insightful intelligence analysis.
