Join the Defense Alliance and Beryllium Infosec for a one-hour free informational webinar. If you are an organization that does work with Government agencies like the Department of Defense, or any agency that has cybersecurity requirements requiring NIST SP 800-171, you may have heard the big news recently, that the CMMC will become an official requirement in the near future. In this webinar, Beryllium InfoSec will discuss the following topics, which directly impact every defense contractor (especially small business) who want to succeed under CMMC:

  • CMMC Final Rule update and the impact it has on the Defense Industrial Base
  • Why identifying Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) properly is critical to CMMC success
  • Responsibility and accountability on “assessment day”
  • What to look for when evaluating external providers and consultants

This webinar will include a Q&A session to answer specific questions, and to ensure that you have the ability to effectively follow up with Defense Alliance and Beryllium InfoSec
