Episode 173 — U.S. Defense Department’s version 2.0 for Contractor Cybersecurity: CMMC 2.0

The U.S. Defense  Department is forcing its contractors and subcontractors to upgrade their cybersecurity practices through CMMC version 2.0. CMMC is shorthand for Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification. This affects virtually all suppliers to DOD that deal in Controlled Unclassified Information. 2.0 sets demanding cybersecurity standards in an ongoing effort to protect digital data from spies, hackers, thieves, and unwanted disclosures. Learn CMMC 2.0 basics and how it may be setting a 2024 gold standard for digital data protection. Consider how it blends with NIST and other standards to upgrade digital info-architecture. Srikant Rachakonda, Founder/CEO, and Jody Stoehr, Co-founder and Chief Revenue Officer, of SMPL-C (https://smpl-c.com/) explain CMMC 2.0. What was once aspirational is becoming compulsory.  The first 155 episodes of Data Privacy Detective can be found on the feed of the Frost Brown Todd Podcast.
