The increasing sophistication of cyber threats and strict (and complex) regulatory requirements create a professional environment where every player on your team has to know what they can and cannot do. In this regard, training and continuing education are non-negotiable.
This article discusses the critical importance of such training, the evolving threat landscape, and best practices for maintaining cybersecurity proficiency.
Endpoint security has become a critical focus in the cybersecurity strategies of organizations that handle CUI as part of the Defense Industrial Base. CMMC, a DoD-mandated framework, emphasizes robust endpoint protection as integral to meeting compliance and securing national security information. This article delves into the importance of endpoint security under CMMC, the specific control families from NIST SP 800-171 that address endpoint vulnerabilities, and practical measures organizations can adopt.
In the increasingly complex landscape of cybersecurity, the CMMC framework stands as a crucial initiative designed to bolster the resilience of the Defense Industrial Base. For organizations aiming to meet CMMC requirements, the certification process involves more than just initial compliance—post-assessment remediation plays a pivotal role. This stage addresses deficiencies identified during the evaluation, ensuring the organization meets the stringent requirements to protect Controlled Unclassified Information and related sensitive data.
For decision-makers and cybersecurity professionals, understanding and effectively managing this phase is paramount.
