ACC NCR Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) and Cybersecurity for Government Contractors – The Current Landscape, What’s Coming, and What You Should Be Doing To Prepare

Cybersecurity rules and best practices for government contractors are complex and constantly evolving.  From the FAR and DFARS, to agency-specific requirements and President Biden’s Executive Order on Improving the Nation’s Cybersecurity (EO 14028), there is a lot to digest and understand.  This session will explore the current landscape and expected future state of cyber for companies that do business with the federal government. 

We will cover how to identify sensitive unclassified information that needs to be protected and requirements for safeguarding that information as well as the roll out of the Department of Defense’s Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) program and expected final regulations and guidance on cyber incident reporting, critical software, and more under the Executive Order.

Presented by Townsend Bourne, Partner and Nikole Snyder at Sheppard Mullin, Mike Tomaselli, Senior Manager at Chess Consulting LLC, and Sharon Steele, Senior Counsel at Xerox Corp.
