Training

Cyber Kostinichi is an advanced cybersecurity training platform created to address the skills gap in the cybersecurity workforce. It aims to push forward rapid and effective training through an agile, iterative framework.  Cyber awareness training has been turned into a meme. Training budgets are one of the first things cut when funding starts to dry up. Emphasis on degrees or certifications overwhelm job requirements. The fact that cyber incidents happen isn't going away. The goal of this project is an innovative platform enabling efficient skill development through simulations, gamification, and memory techniques to fill the workforce gap and alleviate industry-wide issues.

Course Title: Space Information System Security Officer (ISSO) Training

Course Description: This intensive Space Information Systems Security Officer (ISSO) course provides a comprehensive foundation in cybersecurity tailored for the unique challenges of space systems. Participants will master fundamental information security concepts, legal frameworks, and risk management strategies while gaining specialized knowledge in satellite communications and ground station security. The curriculum integrates hands-on learning through simulations and real-world case studies, complemented by essential systems engineering principles and soft skills development. Covering everything from technical proficiency in security controls and incident response to effective communication and leadership in space operations, this course prepares ISSOs to safeguard critical space infrastructure against evolving threats. Graduates will emerge with the expertise to develop and implement robust security measures for space missions, aligning with industry standards and certifications while adapting to the dynamic landscape of space technology and cybersecurity.

Cost: $TBD

Who Should Attend: Participants should be mid-career, seeking and applying for ISSO roles in space systems. Participants should meet prerequisites for the positions (clearance, years of experience, education/certification requirements) to facilitate position fulfillment. A foundational understanding of information security principles and a keen interest in space technology are essential. The program is particularly suited for those looking to transition from general IT security to space-specific roles and those already in the space industry seeking to specialize in cybersecurity. Participants should be prepared for an intensive, hands-on learning experience and be committed to ongoing professional development in this rapidly evolving field. 

By the end of this course, participants will: Be equipped to effectively secure and manage information systems for space missions, applying specialized knowledge of both cybersecurity principles and space systems. Demonstrate proficiency in risk assessment, security control implementation, and incident response within the unique context of satellite communications and ground station operations. Possess the technical skills, systems thinking approach, and soft skills necessary to excel in Space ISSO roles, ensuring the integrity and resilience of critical space infrastructure against evolving cyber threats.
