Description: 

This presentation introduces the DoD’s cybersecurity evolution from NIST 800-171 to the new CMMC (Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification). During the presentation we will explore the DoD’s rationale for implementing this, but most importantly educate DoD suppliers as to how to navigate the requirement and understand the DoD’s expectations. If you are one of the 221,000+ suppliers to the DoD – whether big or small, whether prime or subcontractor, if you handle Federal Contract Information (FCI) or Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI), you will need to become certified to bid on contracts starting as early as 2021. We will conclude with a complete path forward on becoming certified and explore why the process will likely take most organizations 6 months or more to become certified.  

Registration runs through October 3rd.  Walk-in attendees are encouraged at the meeting but the catered lunch is only available to those registering by October 3rd.

Check-in begins at 11:30AM the day of the luncheon, followed by networking until the presentation begins at noon.

There is no need to print tickets or bring them with you.
