CMMC 2.0 – what, how, and why act now?

With the recent streamlining of the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) framework, the path to assure Defense Industrial Base (DIB) cybersecurity has changed dramatically from what was originally planned. There's a lot to learn about CMMC 2.0, but the objective remains the same: protect sensitive defense information from theft by our adversaries. The plan to achieve that objective now recognizes the challenges of fielding a small army of third-party assessors over a compressed timeframe and the business impact and cost on small and medium sized DIB organizations.
