This is session 2 of 4 in the Fundamentals of Cybersecurity and Regulatory Updates Series.

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.
