Certified Biosecurity & Synthetic Biology Risk Professional (CBSBRP) Certification Program by Tonex
The CBSBRP program equips professionals to evaluate, mitigate, and govern risks across synthetic biology and genetic engineering. Participants gain practical fluency in biosecurity frameworks, DNA synthesis screening, dual-use oversight, and policy alignment while translating complex science into actionable controls for organizations and governments.
Cybersecurity shapes modern biosecurity by protecting digital genomes, sequence repositories, and automated workflows from tampering.
Cybersecurity safeguards cyber-physical biofoundries and ensures data integrity for risk models and compliance reporting. Graduates leave ready to design defense-in-depth programs that are scientifically rigorous, ethically grounded, and resilient to emerging threats.
