How (and Why) Cyber Attacks are Exploiting the Supply Chain

Your business is a link in one or more supply chains. Your business depends on those who supply to you, and in turn those you supply to (and their customers and their customers’ customers) depend on you. Any disruption at any point affects the flow of goods, services, and information affecting others in the supply chain. It’s important that we understand the risk in our supply chain and the potential risk we pose to our customers, especially cyber-related risk. Why?

Getting the Scope Right: The Foundation of CMMC Level 2 Certification

Why are we talking about scoping? For defense contractors, subcontractors, or suppliers, the surest path to CMMC Level 2 certification success depends heavily on an accurately defined CUI boundary, or “CMMC assessment scope”. The wait may be over, as the DoD has finalized its expectations of the CMMC program, but the lion’s share of defense contractors are just getting started, many with a heavier lift than others.

The Wait Is Over...The Final CMMC Rule Explained

The publication of the final program rule for the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) Program, 32 CFR Part 170, in the Federal Register on October 15, 2024, was an important milestone toward ensuring the confidentiality of sensitive defense information and stemming the theft of that information by foreign adversaries. The rule becomes effective and the CMMC Program comes into existence on December 16, 2024.

Webinar: The Wait is Over CMMC Final Rule Explained

With the publication of its Final Rule on October 11, the CMMC program is real. CMMC will begin appearing in contracts early next year. If you've been skeptical or waiting on the sidelines, the ambiguity is gone. You need to be focused on understanding and addressing CMMC now. The CMMC rule itself is long and confusing, over 470 pages and 130,000 words of acronyms and contract language. We will break down the rule, translate it into plain English, and explain the requirements and how your business will be affected. We'll cover the key points including.

5 Common Challenges (and Solutions) to Achieving CMMC Compliance

Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) is a comprehensive program to enforce conformance with the NIST 800-171 security controls for non-government organizations handling Federal Contract Information (FCI) and Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI). The program has a three tiered requirements structure based on the nature and sensitivity of information an organization handles.

How CMMC Will Improve Your Cybersecurity Posture

In the ever-evolving landscape of cybersecurity, safeguarding critical data from unauthorized access is paramount. Our recent webinar, “Shut the Front Door,” provided invaluable insights aimed at business leaders, operations executives, and IT managers within the government contracting community, emphasizing the necessity of robust access control measures and adherence to regulations like the FAR, DFARS, and NIST 800-171.
