The Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification - Overview and Latest Developments

Due to the proliferation of intellectual property that has resulted in the loss of trillions of dollars, the Department of Defense (DoD) and Federal Agencies is focusing its attention concerning the safeguard of sensitive but unclassified information that resides on industry's networks and systems.

This is the third of five webcast sessions and focuses on the trade-space that Acquisition Workforce should consider when selecting the CMMC level (I, III, and III+) to protect their FCI and CUI that resides on contractor's networks and/or systems.

 Speaker:

Christopher Newborn, a member of Department of Defense's (DoD) Acquisition and Cybersecurity Workforce, was appointed as a Professor of Information Technology (Cybersecurity Emphasis) at the Defense Acquisition University (DAU) in August 2015.  Mr. Newborn duties include developing curriculum, teaching, and consulting members of the Acquisition and Cybersecurity Workforce who are responsible for acquiring, deploying, and maintaining cybersecurity capabilities and defending DoD's networks, systems, and data.
