Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification or CMMC is a new security program being released by the US DoD. If you are a DoD contractor, your livelihood could be at stake as contract requirements and contractors will need to be certified or a contract won’t be awarded. Listen in as TelaTek's Director of Operations, Johann Dettweiler breaks down these new requirements published in his latest journal article with ISACA's CMMI Professional Practice Lead, Kileen Harrison. Johann discusses the importance of all organizations —big or small—going through the different levels of security in the CMMC guidelines, starting at Level 1 and working their way up. What is the most important thing an organization needs to get started? The ability to read, familiarize and understand the different levels of CMMC otherwise, they won’t know how to implement it in their organization and will have to hire a third party. These CMMC requirements are here to stay and will only continue to get more stringent the more hacks and attacks keep increasing.
