Knowing that it’s not a matter of “if” an organization will be compromised, but “when”, today’s savvy security leaders are no longer satisfied by just fortifying the network perimeter.

A chief financial officer (CFO) is a necessary component required to ensure a cybersecurity department has the right staff, software, products, and tools to be able to defend their organization.

Don’t have a team of security experts and trained incident responders ready to respond and remediate the latest threats?

The Department of Defense (DoD) has officially published version 1.0 of its Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) approach. DoD contractors are now trying to figure out what comes next. Since all DoD contractors will need to obtain a CMMC certification at some point, all of them must spend time to create a strategy and develop/implement a plan to get there. To help you jumpstart the process, we've put together the five steps you’ll need to follow. These can be used as milestones as part of an implementation project plan.

As the looming deadline approaches, we’ve decided to answer six general (but important) questions you likely have when it comes to the Department of Defense's Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification.
