FCW Workshop: CMMC 2.0 What’s Changed and What’s Next

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

Ms. Knight will discuss her role in DOD CMMC Program Management Office, which supports all facets of the CMMC Program, including the development of CMMC 2.0 and its implementation plan for the Department. 

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.

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.

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.
