Event Description: Presented by Damon S. Hacker, MBA, CISA, CSXF, CMMC-RP, President & CEO, Vestige Digital Investigations.  The presentation will introduce the Department of Defense's (DoD) cybersecurity evolution from BIST 800-171 to the new Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC).  During the presentation, Damon will explore the DoD's rationale for implementing this, but most importantly educate DoD suppliers as to how to navigate the requirement and understand the DoD's expectations.  if you are one of the 221,000+ suppliers to the DoD - whether big or small, whether prime or subcontractor, if you handle Federal Contract Information (FCI) or Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI), you will need to become certified to bid on contracts starting as early as 2021.  The presentation will conclude with a complete path forward on becoming certified and explore why the process will likely take most organizations six months or more to become certified.   Cost: $25 per private sector | $10 per virtual attend | Free for government, public sector, and students (in person and virtual)
