Join us for an informational webinar on the Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP) and its crucial role in cybersecurity and safeguarding protected data for defense contractors. This session will delve into the requirements of the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) and the importance of thoroughly vetting your cloud service providers to ensure compliance. Gain a strong understanding of how FedRAMP and CMMC intersect, the steps necessary to meet these stringent cybersecurity standards, and best practices for maintaining robust data protection within your organization. Don't miss out on this opportunity to learn more about cybersecurity compliance for government contractors and ensure your business stays ahead of all the coming changes. Here's What You'll Learn During this Webinar:  Why FedRAMP is important to defense contractors and how it affects your business with the federal government  Why cloud service providers need to demonstrate FedRAMP Moderate or High security for CMMC compliance  The latest updates on cybersecurity compliance requirements for government contractors

New regulations, executive orders, class deviations, statutes, protests, and litigation all ensure that the compliance landscape for government contracts is always evolving at a breakneck pace. These changes can be difficult to track, but Federal Publication Seminars' Quarterly Update gathers the most significant changes and distills them for government contracting professionals. That usually (but not always) includes updates to:  Cybersecurity requirements  Changes to labor regulations and enforcement  Domestic preferences; and  Small business regulations Each session will be jammed packed with the latest information and is a valuable tool in staying up to date in an ever-changing environment.

After years of delays, the proposed Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) Program Rule (32 CFR) is now expected to become a final, published rule by the end of 2024. For Defense contractors, this means that official CMMC audits can begin taking place after that. The enforcement rule for CMMC (48 CFR) is expected to become final sometime in 2025 and appear in DoD contracts in a phased approach. CMMC certification will become a prerequisite for contract award eligibility, and failure to achieve certification may result in ineligibility to bid and win contract awards. To achieve CMMC Level 2 certification (expected to be the most common), DoD contractors must both implement controls and requirements across their in-office systems, and require their cloud service providers that handle sensitive CUI to demonstrate FedRAMP Moderate equivalence. In this 60-minute informational session, Deltek's Michael Greenman will provide the latest updates on the CMMC program and discuss how Deltek is supporting CMMC compliance efforts as a Cloud Service Provider to streamline your compliance journey. Topics to be covered during this webinar will include (Learning Objectives):  A program update/refresher on CMMC 2.0 and the latest timeline expectations  Requirements of Cloud Service Providers and the risks with strategies to mitigate them  The concept of Shared Responsibility with Cloud Service Providers (CSPs)  How Costpoint GCCM's FedRAMP Moderate Ready status supports CMMC compliance efforts

In this session, we will identify how to ensure that good cybersecurity hygiene flows through a contractor's supply chain. We will discuss the Defense Contract Management Agency's (DCMA) mandate to examine contractor compliance with cybersecurity requirements as part of its Contractor Purchasing System Reviews (CPSR) and its implications for contractors in the near future. At the end of the session, we will discuss the pair of Proposed Rules issued in October 2023 (addressing "Cyber Threat and Incident Reporting and Information Sharing" and "Standardizing Cybersecurity Requirements for Unclassified Federal Information Systems"), and will explore the implications of those Proposed Rules for contractors. Learning Objectives: By the end of this session, students will understand how to ensure cybersecurity hygiene in their supply chain, and be prepared to proactively address their purchasing procedures in anticipation of DCMA reviews. Students will also gain insight as to the likely next developments in and implications of Federal cybersecurity initiatives, particularly as they relate to non-DoD agencies.

In this session, we will explore the presence of existing Department of Defense cybersecurity assessment requirements, including DFARS 252.204-7019, DFARS 252.204-7020, and the development and pending arrival of the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC). We will provide an detailed examination of the NIST 800-171 assessment methodology required by -7019 and -7020, and highlight some of the key challenges contractors are likely to face as they implement these requirements. We will also provide insight as to the future of CMMC and how contractors can best prepare for the coming obligations. Learning Objectives: By the end of this session, students will be familiar with the basics of the DoD NIST 800-171 assessment requirements and will be able to think critically about how these requirements will apply to and impact their organization. They will be up to date on the developments in CMMC and able to identify key steps that should be taken proactively to ensure compliance and avoid liability.

In this session, we will define cybersecurity foundations and explain why cybersecurity matters. We will discuss the type of information that must be protected, and the key governing bodies tasked with implementing the patchwork of laws and regulations addressing cybersecurity requirements. We will examine the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) clauses governing cybersecurity, as well as certain publications of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), with particular focus on NIST Special Publication (SP) 800-171, Protecting Controlled Unclassified Information in Nonfederal Systems and Organizations. Learning Objectives: By the end of this session, students will understand the importance of cybersecurity and how it impacts their organization. They will be familiar with the basic laws and regulations governing their cybersecurity compliance obligations, as well as the Federal contract clauses and standards implementing those obligations.
