Certified Supply Chain TECHINT Risk Professional (CSCTRP) Certification Program by Tonex
This program prepares professionals to evaluate technical threats and vulnerabilities across global supply chains where microelectronics, firmware, and embedded systems converge. Participants learn how to validate chip provenance, detect counterfeits, and map foreign components that may introduce risk. The curriculum blends TECHINT tradecraft with vendor validation, IP protection practices, and integration with counterintelligence and industrial security programs.
Cybersecurity impact is emphasized through systematic controls that harden hardware, software, and data flows against tampering and exfiltration. Learners translate threat intelligence into procurement safeguards, inspection workflows, and assurance metrics aligned with mission and regulatory requirements. The outcome is a repeatable, auditable approach to securing complex, multi-tier suppliers while improving resilience, continuity, and trust across the enterprise supply chain ecosystem.
