Certified Electromagnetic Infrastructure Risk Assessor (CEIRA) Certification Program by Tonex
Certified Electromagnetic Infrastructure Risk Assessor CEIRA prepares professionals to evaluate and manage electromagnetic risk across RF exposure, EMI, IEMI, and EMSEC sensitive environments. The program focuses on translating technical electromagnetic behaviors into defensible risk decisions for critical infrastructure, enterprise facilities, and regulated systems. Participants learn how to build threat models for intentional and unintentional EM events, identify vulnerable assets and pathways, and score risk using repeatable criteria that support prioritization and funding.
A major outcome is the ability to connect electromagnetic risk to cybersecurity by showing how interference, injection, and emanations can degrade availability, integrity, and confidentiality. You will frame electromagnetic scenarios as cybersecurity driven business risks, document controls that reduce attack surface, and produce assessment reports that withstand audit and oversight review. The course emphasizes practical reporting, compliance alignment, and stakeholder communication so teams can act on findings with clear justification.
