Certified Dual-Use Innovation & Export Control Specialist (CDUIECS) Certification Program by Tonex
The CDUIECS Certification Program by Tonex equips leaders, engineers, and policy practitioners to balance breakthrough innovation with U.S. and allied export controls, including ITAR, EAR, and emerging dual-use regimes shaping AI, quantum, and biotech. You will learn to operationalize risk-based controls without stifling R&D velocity, design compliant go-to-market pathways, and navigate licensing, exemptions, and end-use screening in complex supply chains.
Cybersecurity is a decisive factor in export control success, protecting controlled technical data from exfiltration and insider threats. Strengthening cybersecurity safeguards classification, access, and secure collaboration across borders. Effective cybersecurity reduces enforcement exposure and sustains trust with regulators and partners.
