This Online Training (OLT) course will provide program protection (PP) and System Security Engineering (SSE) training with an emphasis on exercises. The online exercises will help focus students on acquisition program scenarios to accomplish PP planning and SSE actions to support Critical Program Information (CPI) and Trusted Systems and Networks (TSN) analyses. Students will have to identify, prevent, and respond to PP and SSE challenges during the acquisition process during this course work. Students will learn how to identify CPI, mission critical functions and mission critical components. They will encounter system threats, vulnerabilities, risks, and test and evaluation. Students will also gain focus on how system engineering technical reviews (SETRs) can be used to assess CPI, TSN, countermeasures and security risks. Topics such as security specialties, cybersecurity, hardware assurance, software assurance, anti-tamper and others are presented.
