Written by SecureWorld News Team | 1 AM Z

Supply chain risks are at the top of everyone's mind today, and the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) is no different. That is why the DoD created its Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC).

CMMC is a five-level, third-party validated maturity certification. CMMC includes both technical and process/procedural requirements. Organizations in the Defense Supply Chain will be required to obtain CMMC certification before contract award. Requests for Proposals (RFPs) containing CMMC requirements are expected in October 2020. This session provides an overview of CMMC and the corresponding industry-led ecosystem that is being created, spearheaded by the CMMC Accreditation Body (CMMC-AB).
