Hackers are targeting manufacturers and looking for the weakest link in the defense supply chain. Is your business the link that breaks? Whether you’re a Tier 1 OEM or a family-owned machine shop, cyberattacks are happening. Denying the threat is risky, but so is delaying your defenses.

Recently, the U.S. Department of Defense announced a Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) for vendors. By June 2020 the DoD is expected to include certification requirements in Requests for Information (RFIs). A year from now, CMMC will become part of solicitations. Are you ready for these requirements? These requirements will be in addition to the existing DFARS 252.204-7012 cybersecurity clause which requires implementation of NIST SP 800-171.
