CMMC Going Live: Implications for ALL Government Contractors
Derek Kernus
Aethon Security
This presentation will examine the crucial role of Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) in protecting Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) within contractor information systems. With the CMMC rule nearing finalization, expected to be completed no later than October 25, 2024, it’s essential to understand that CMMC is expanding its reach beyond the Department of Defense. The program will be
codified in Title 32 of the Code of Federal Regulations, making it applicable to all government departments and agencies. As CMMC becomes a standard for safeguarding CUI across the government, business leaders must grasp the key elements of the final rule and the implementation timeline to effectively evaluate the need to implement the cybersecurity control requirements, their organization’s readiness, and
the timing of implementation.
Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this session attendees will have a basic understanding of:
- The key elements of the CMMC Program as proposed or finalized by the date of the presentation
- How to reduce costs for becoming compliant and certified
- What to expect when going through an assessment
