Model-Based Systems and Software Engineering (MBSSE) Fundamentals from Tonex, Inc.

Model-Based Systems and Software Engineering (MBSSE) Fundamentals

"Model-Based Systems and Software Engineering (MBSSE) Fundamentals" introduces systems thinking, architecture modeling, and requirements traceability using SysML and MBSE methodologies. Participants gain skills to unify software and hardware lifecycles under consistent, testable models. MBSSE enhances cybersecurity by making system dependencies explicit and traceable, allowing early identification of security risks and design flaws. Engineers who apply model-based principles can better verify access control, threat surfaces, and mission assurance, strengthening secure development from the ground up.
