CSSSP – MBSE for Space Systems Protection Certification Program by Tonex
The CSSSP – MBSE for Space Systems Protection Certification Program by Tonex equips participants with the expertise to apply Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) principles to safeguard space systems. The program focuses on integrating systems engineering methodologies with protection strategies that address the complexity of modern space architectures. It emphasizes structured modeling approaches to enhance resilience, reliability, and secure operations across mission lifecycles.
In addition to engineering efficiency, the program underscores the growing role of cybersecurity in space protection. Space systems face evolving cyber threats, and MBSE-driven modeling enhances detection, prevention, and mitigation of risks that could compromise critical assets.
By aligning MBSE with protection frameworks, participants learn how to create secure-by-design systems, ensuring space missions remain protected against adversarial disruptions. The certification empowers engineers, analysts, and managers to contribute effectively to secure system development and deployment for next-generation space operations.
