Introduction to the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC)

The CMMC is an information security program and certification process specific to Department of Defense (DOD) third-party contractors. The program was created to ensure all aspects of the DOD supply chain are secured. By 2026, almost any contractor providing services, solutions, or projects to the DOD will need to receive some level of CMMC accreditation. The DOD is encouraging contractors to prepare now to meet these new CMMC requirements. The agenda for this seminar includes the following:

Outline the CMMC objectives and framework
Discuss the various maturity levels and domains of the CMMC
Identify next steps in beginning to prepare for a CMMC assessment
