SECURING DEFENSE
TRAINING & SIMULATION
Achieving strict education & training compliance is critical for the modern classroom. We protect sensitive training curriculums, VR simulations, and student data from cyber espionage.
WHO THIS APPLIES TO
From traditional technical instruction to VR simulation developers, education & training compliance is mandatory for any program handling defense data.
DEFENSE TRAINING PROVIDERS
- Technical Schools & Universities
- Workforce Development Contractors
- On-Base Support Services
SIMULATION & SYSTEM DEVELOPERS
- VR/AR Training Systems
- LMS Platform Providers
- Simulation Software Engineers
COMMON COMPLIANCE CHALLENGES IN TRAINING
Providers often struggle to balance open learning environments with the strict education training compliance protocols required by the DoD.
TRANSIENT USER ACCESS
Managing access for rotating student populations and ensuring accounts are terminated immediately after course completion to prevent unauthorized lingering access.
SECURING LMS PLATFORMS
Standard Learning Management Systems (LMS) often lack the encryption and logging features required to host CUI or sensitive defense training modules.
PROTECTING SOURCE CODE
Preventing theft of proprietary simulation code and VR scenarios, which are high-value targets for foreign adversaries seeking to replicate US training.
REMOTE TRAINING RISKS
Securing unmanaged devices (BYOD) used by instructors or students connecting from home networks that don't meet NIST 800-171 standards.
ITAR RESTRICTIONS
Strictly preventing foreign national students or instructors from accessing technical data related to defense articles (NOFORN controls).
LAB SEGMENTATION
Separating open academic research networks from restricted government projects to ensure compliance without stifling innovation.
KEY REGULATIONS & STANDARDS
Education & training compliance mandates that providers handling Defense CUI meet the same strict cybersecurity standards as the aerospace manufacturers they support. The ‘academic freedom’ exemption does not apply here.
- Implementation of 110 security controls is required for all systems holding CUI.
- Third-party assessment verification is required for critical defense training contracts.
- Strict "NOFORN" (No Foreign Nationals) access controls for sensitive simulation data.
- Requires cyber incident reporting to the DoD within 72 hours of a breach.
- Cloud-based LMS and simulation platforms must be FedRAMP Moderate equivalents.
HOW WE HELP DEFENSE TRAINING ORGANIZATIONS
We deliver specialized education & training compliance solutions that secure your curriculum and simulation data without disrupting the flow of instruction.
DATA CLASSIFICATION
We help you separate public training materials from sensitive CUI, reducing your compliance burden and costs.
LMS Hardening
Hardening Learning Management Systems (Canvas, Blackboard, Moodle) and cloud environments to meet federal security mandates.
SECURE REMOTE LEARNING
Implementing Virtual Desktop (VDI) solutions that allow students to access training labs securely from unmanaged devices.
SIMULATION & IP DEFENSE
Advanced encryption and access controls to protect your proprietary simulation code and VR scenarios from theft.
ACADEMIC SECURITY POLICIES
Developing "Acceptable Use Policies" specifically designed for transient student populations and rotating instructors.
AUDIT PREP & MONITORING
24/7 monitoring of user activity logs to detect anomalies in student or instructor access patterns immediately.
WHY INDUSTRY SPECIFIC SUPPORT MATTERS
Generic IT providers often fail to meet education & training compliance requirements because they treat students as permanent employees. This creates a security gap in fluid learning environments.
- Automated account provisioning and de-provisioning ensures no student retains access after their course ends.
- We implement "Zero Trust" gateways that allow students to access labs from personal laptops without compromising your internal network.
- We apply specific controls to prevent students or competitors from copying your proprietary simulation source code and VR assets.
