This briefing covered some of the most impactful initiatives, including existing and forthcoming cyber security requirements.
In addition to reviewing what has occurred recently, Eric explored the significant changes to the cyber security and supply chain space, as the U.S. government has been issuing new cyber security regulations aimed at companies around world that are in the U.S. supply chain or do business with U.S.-based companies. The session also looked at the new and forthcoming requirements including the U.S. Department of Defense’s (U.S. DoD) Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) which will require a third-party cyber security certification and other cyber security initiatives launched by U.S. federal agencies.
