This industry-focused CMMC readiness summit, part two in the series, is a 3-hour conference designed to bring together the defense industrial base and the greater government contracting community for new perspectives from leading technology vendors and government officials.  It will include exclusive insights from Suzanne Spaulding, Senior Advisor to the Department of Homeland Security from CSIS, a “titan” cloud security panel that will address the need for transparency of CMMC controls, a DIY vs. managed solution approach, and leading government officials who stand at the forefront of cyber and national security.  It is truly stellar packed with trusted advisors and industry experts who are leading the charge to educate toward early adoption.

Key Takeaways:

• How we are defending forward in 2021 with supply chain vulnerability and critical infrastructure in mind.
• How cloud adoption can accelerate your CMMC compliance strategy.
• “Who” to ask “what” and “when” for help – with the “why” and “how”: decisively and strategically making the necessary changes to align with CMMC, which is the foundation to defending your business.
• Key differences between soliciting a vendor and doing it yourself.
• What industry software giants advise in managed security tech stacks.
• Updated on key impacts of the Solar Winds and Microsoft Exchange attacks, and how we accelerate our readiness against future attacks of this magnitude.
