Continuously Monitoring & Securing Cyber
Project Spectrum is a comprehensive, cost-effective platform that provides companies, institutions, and organizations with cybersecurity information, resources, tools, and training. The U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) recognizes Project Spectrum as a premier resource for the tools and training needed to increase cybersecurity awareness and maintain compliance in accordance with DoD contracting requirements.
Don’t Let CMMC Limit You - Compliance is not the destination, it’s part of the journey
Hear from IronNet’s Travis Rosiek who will share his unique understanding of the cybersecurity challenges facing organizations today and his call to action for taking a proactive approach to protecting your network.
You will learn:
— Why CMMC is a Cyber security call to action
— Why is there a sense of urgency surrounding CMMC today
— What are the consequences of ignoring CMMC requirements
— Why a proactive approach is better than reactive
— How collective defense is an important component of cybersecurity and CMMC

New Mandatory CUI Identification and Marking Requirements for CMMC 2.0
Government, defense and defense industry base (DIB) must meet the demands of both the DoD and the critical infrastructure players and map to critical controls laid out in CMMC 2.0, NIST 800-171, and NIST 800-53 to adequately protect Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) and Federal Contract Information (FCI). Many agencies and DIBs are struggling with how to implement required information security controls and marking requirements to data in their Microsoft stack.
We will discuss the challenges of implementing the mandated best practices for the handling of CUI and FCI to meet these guidelines and how to tackle them using data-centric zero trust security techniques.
You will learn:
— New CMMC 2.0 mandatory CUI marking requirements
— Challenges of tagging, marking and securing CUI and FCI
— How to dynamically identify, tag, mark and protect CUI and FCI in Microsoft 365 and SharePoint On-premises

NIST SP 800-171/172 and CMMC
Almost everyone agrees on the importance of protecting sensitive but unclassified information. But not everyone agrees on the same approach to solve the problem. Agencies are provided with many directives and deadlines about how to protect their systems and the data within them. NIST is a source of some of the most important.
I Have a Self-Assessed SPRS Score…Now What?
Establishing a self-assessed SPRS score is just the first step. How does an organization apply quantification to that score? How do you decide the remediation required to improve that score? How do you articulate the work effort and out-of-band budget requirements to Leadership as well as timelines necessary for those required remediation activities. In this session we will be discussing the necessity of integrating a system to assist in managing these complex variables as your organization undertakes the activities beyond establishing the required point in time score and prepares for Certification.

Threats and Adversaries to the Defender Industrial Base (DIB): A Defender's Perspective
More than 200,000 companies provide supplies, parts, and manufacturing for DOD's weapon systems. The defense industrial base has been pummeled with new cybersecurity vulnerabilities year on year. We are under attack in every way, every day. This critical industry faces persistent, increasing threats of sophisticated intellectual property theft, economic espionage, cybercrime, and other forms of attacks. The result is that foreign actors are stealing large amounts of sensitive data, trade secrets, and intellectual property every day from DIB firms. This severely erodes not only the DIB, but it could potentially harm future U.S. military operations as Industry experts have noted. We walk through Incident Response requirements that exist now, and other emerging mandates. We also perform an overview of Modern threats and Security operations.
Operational viewpoint of a Modern SOC building frameworks from content to services to react to modern threats. We will highlight handling threats through the lens of a SOC. We will have the following core focus areas.
— The state of the union on Modern threats
— The overview the Government Incident Response requirements
— An overview of the Ransomware Ecosystem and Nation State
— Why is this problem way beyond and more critical than a compliance issue?
— Why do these people care about the DIB anyways?
— Anatomy of a Hack
— Building scale and capacity to hunt and search for modern threats.
