The software industry plays a critical role in military technology, making secure software supply chains essential. Introducing Paranoid, a solution initially designed to support secure avionics software development for the Naval Aviation Enterprise, now available for commercialization. This innovation ensures full traceability and demonstrability in software development to prevent potential attacks. Private enterprises can access Paranoid through TechLink, the Department of Defense's national technology transfer partner, while the Navy offers collaborative opportunities through CRADAs for private developers. #SoftwareSecurity #Technology #DefenseSector #TechLink #Innovation https://lnkd.in/e6iDfY2N

Embedded systems can apply zero-trust principles by employing a hardened separation kernel that denies by default any communication between applications and prevents any application from affecting the execution of another application. #ZeroTrust #CommonCriteria Green Hills Software

I was excited to see Center for Security and Emerging Technology (CSET)’s case study on Project Maven because despite its notoriety, the program's story has largely gone untold. Emelia Probasco does it masterfully. Maven was the fulcrum of change for the DoD: It began in the “pre-software” era where we bought software like hardware. It transitioned in the “more modern software” era, as one of the first meaningful initiatives to bring in nontraditional companies and engage them differently. The key to the whole thing was an iterative, adaptive approach: Flexible contracting. New primes. Competition. The program is far from perfect, but it stands as a crucial example of defense modernization, and is an essential case study for anyone wishing to see how new capabilities might get developed, and deployed for America’s Armed Forces. Enjoy today's episode (link in comments) and share YOUR top lesson(s) from Maven!

Transitioning from military service to the civilian work environment can be overwhelming. Therefore, is important to strategically align your values and goals with one of many organizations that are part of the DoD Skillbridge program. In my experience, working for a Veteran Owned Small Business allowed me the opportunity to slowly transition to the civilian workforce, while getting the support from veterans that are willing to mentor and guide you throughout the process. Below is a review of my experience with Yellowfin Technology Corp. Review for #YellowfinTechnology ·       Offered a position after completion? - Yes ·       Did you feel supported and valued? - Yes ·       Would you recommend this company? - Yes The reason I selected Yellowfin Technology for my DoD Skillbridge was because it offered an opportunity to change my career. I was an All-Source Intelligence Analyst in the U.S. Army and retired as a First Sergeant after 20 years of service. I decided to become a Program Integrator (Program Management Support) while receiving the necessary training to be competitive for a position within the Department of Defense. The training was structure in a way that allowed me to do computer-based training from home and face-to-face classroom time at a secure facility. I am very thankful that I completed the DoD Skillbridge training requirements and to have accepted a job offer with Yellowfin Technology six days after my retirement date. Please consider this company as you check for opportunities that align with your values and professional goals. Yellowfin Technology has developed an extensive Skillbridge job training and career development programs in the following Career fields to enhance the opportunities for separating Service members: - Program Management Support  - Systems Engineering  - Cybersecurity Engineering You can find additional information through email at [email protected] or https://lnkd.in/gmzuqqWj  #DoDSkillbridge #Skillbridge #Veterans #RateMySkillbridge #MilitaryTransition #VeteranTransition #SoldierForLife #PassionProject #MakeADifference
