AOC Capital Club Professional Speaker Event Wednesday March 3rd, 1PM - 2PM

The Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification is a unified cybersecurity standard designed to reduce theft of Controlled Unclassified Information from companies in the Defense Industrial Base (DIB). Now major contracting shops such as the GSA are adopting the maturity model for contracts outside of DoD. With 171 controls spread across 17 categories, CMMC represents the most stringent cybersecurity standards ever developed. Ms. Arrington will discuss the path to enhancing cybersecurity across government supply chains as a critical step to protecting the government's sensitive information. Participants will learn about a) NIST's SP 800-171 requirements for protection; b) Leadership lessons from DoD supply chain risk management; c) DoD's new 5-tier system of controls to be assessed when contracting with the department; d) Delineate timetables and deadlines for shift to CMMC's verifiable cybersecurity among contractors.
