The Framework of Cybersecurity Law
Eric Crusius, Partner, Holland & Knight

As early as the Privacy Act of 1974, data privacy challenges have been at the forefront of government acquisition professionals and contractors. Now in the modern age of the internet, cloud computing, the Internet of Things, and data moving at the speed of light, industry, and government need to have heightened awareness around protecting their data and intellectual property.

Numerous federal regulations, including NIST 800-171 and CMMC 2.0, have made protecting information more confusing and cumbersome than ever as they are implemented and embraced by government agencies and the government contracting industry.

To strive to stay compliant and protect your intellectual property and data is not taken lightly by anyone. In this presentation, Mr. Crusius will walk us through the framework and highlight what might be on the horizon for new compliance initiatives for FY23.

Deciding Between In-house or Managed Services for Combating Cybersecurity Threats and Compliance
Bill Wootton, Founder and CEO, C3 Integrated Solutions, Gold Sponsor

Organizational leaders are tasked with running a successful business. While many are well versed in finance, sales, human resources, and marketing, they may not be as well versed in technology and data security.  While many larger firms can afford an internal IT team and a CIO or CISO, most small and medium-sized companies outsource this service to a Managed Services Provider (MSP).

Bill will discuss how today’s MSP needs to be well versed in cybersecurity as well as be an integral part of your compliance strategy.
