"PRIME CONTRACTOR SPECIAL – Preparing for the CMMC Final Rule"
The Cyber Collaboration Center (CCC) was established in 2011 by Referentia Systems to enable security experts from government, academia and industry to collaborate on critical cybersecurity concerns threatening our nation’s networks. In 2016, the CCC transitioned to a non-profit organization with a focus on education and training to help achieve a cyber-safe community.
From the beginning, CCC served as an operational test bed for a range of stakeholders including the Department of Defense, alternative energy infrastructure sites, the smart grid and utilities. The Center’s initiatives include developing effective solutions for cybersecurity, interoperability operations and critical infrastructure and innovations based on identified gaps within the operational landscape. The Center's new focus is on training and partnering with industry experts to help facilitate a cyber-safe community.
On a local level, every community includes government, industry, and workforce. The CCC works to build awareness of cybersecurity threats, vulnerabilities, and best practices across a diverse group of stakeholders, providing no-cost webinars, information resources, and programs designed to encourage and promote good cyber hygiene.
The CCC has been staffed by cybersecurity experts, computer scientists, programmers and network engineers, providing a dynamic open-space work environment that encourages collaborative research across disciplines. Innovation can take many forms, and for each critical cybersecurity gap area that CCC adopts as an initiative, CCC and its partners look for or assemble innovative solutions that enable a cyber-safe community.
The CCC is a strong supporter of STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) and helps ensure a well-trained and economically competitive workforce, to foster the next generation of national security professionals. The CCC provides education and training across the community, from underserved populations to the critical infrastructure industry, for the purposes of building and promoting a cyber-safe community.
