MIL-1553 Cybersecurity Test and Evaluation (T&E) training will introduce a set of workshops and group activities of real world case studies in order to prepare you to tackle the entire related RMF challenges applied to MIL-1553 capable platforms and systems

MIL-1553 was released by the U.S. Department of Defense before the advent of modern cyber warfare, and lacks many of the tools that secure modern networks. More recently it was identified as a potential danger that adversaries could leverage to compromise equipment and spread malicious software across a system. The bus was designed with a great focus on reliability, responsiveness, and fault tolerance. However, its security aspects were an afterthought. The MIL-1553 bus was found to be vulnerable to many attacks that could seriously damage the entire system. The problem was that rebuilding the security of the MIL-STD-1553 from scratch was cost-prohibitive and a very complex, not scalable, and inflexible approach.
