Episode Synopsis

Amid increasingly complex and sophisticated cyberattacks, the Department of Defense — whose sectors manage highly confidential data in the cloud on a day-to-day basis — are taking every necessary step to ensure their cybersecurity postures are effective and up-to-date. Internally, they have instituted solutions like Comply-to-Connect (C2C), a comprehensive framework designed to increase cybersecurity efficiency across all DoD’s operational environments. But they are also extending these rigorous standards to outside organizations.

In order to ensure their numerous industry partners are equipped with the security protocols necessary to handle information critical to our nation’s safety, the DoD implemented Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) — compliance requirements that allow the DoD to determine whether a potential partner has the framework necessary to work with vulnerable and controlled data.

In this podcast episode, moderator Camille Tuutti speaks with Devin Henderson, founder and CEO of DH Tech about the benefits of the department taking cybersecurity measures to the next level with C2C and CMMC, key challenges they face with implementation, how agencies and contractors can implement CMMC effectively, and how these frameworks will impact their mission now and in the future.
