Joint Orange County and Santa Clarita Valley Chapter virtual meeting on March 4
Many small and mid-sized aerospace and defense (A&D) manufacturers who attempt to decipher their cybersecurity obligations under Defense Federal Regulation Supplement (DFARS) clauses and the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) program are left feeling like they are missing something. Unfortunately, that is true in more ways than one. Several critical dependencies, omissions, and assumptions underlie the regulations and the most recent DFARS changes have only compounded the issue.
Department of Defense (DoD) cybersecurity regulations are not what they seem. A closer look below the waterline reveals the lasting implications of activities like answering customer questionnaires; submitting self-assessments to the Supplier Performance Risk System (SPRS); and self-attesting to DFARS cybersecurity compliance.
Please join us on March 4, 2021, 8:00-9:00am pacific time, for an online webinar when Jacob Horne, Cybersecurity Consultant, DefCERT will address what are the most common assumptions that A&D manufacturers make about their cybersecurity obligations; their cybersecurity posture; and the resulting feasibility of passing a CMMC assessment? What assumptions are buried within DFARS and CMMC about your business and the business of A&D manufacturing in general? Taken together, how do these assumptions contribute to the most common challenges faced by A&D manufactures?
Most importantly, how can A&D manufacturers take advantage of this ambiguity to save time and money during a compliance transformation as well as set themselves up for success in a CMMC assessment?
The meeting is free for members and $25 for non-members. For more information and to register to attend the meeting go to https://adfocmar21.eventbrite.com/.
