The Cyber Collaboration Center broadcast the Pacific CMMC Conference online event on Thursday, October 22, 2020 as its DFARS 7012 Cybersecurity Webinar Series #14, featuring guest speaker Katie Arrington, director of the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) program. All are welcome to watch the recording of this event, produced in partnership with leading Pacific cybersecurity stakeholders including Cyber Hawaii, the Hawaii Chamber of Commerce Military Affairs Council (MAC) and INNOVATE Hawaii (Hawaii's NIST National Manufacturing Extension Partnership (MEP) National Network Center).
The conference event was held online and was NOT limited to companies doing business with DoD in the Pacific. The information presented is relevant to all DoD contractors nationwide.
The new DFARS Interim Rule released Sept 29, 2020, provides a legal framework for the government to collect more information from contractors and require them to take actions that will cost money in order to be eligible for contract awards. The new rules take effect on November 30, 2020 and are expected to impact all contractors doing business with the DoD. Your company's executives should view the recording, if they did not attend the event, to make sure they are aware of the impacts these rule changes are expected to have on the DoD procurement process across the entire supply chain.
This special webinar provided key updates from the head of the CMMC program, along with experts from eResilience explaining more about the new DFARS rules, including information about what companies should expect and how to prepare.
