CMMC Forum REGISTER NOW

On Jan. 31st, the Department of Defense (DoD) officially released its Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) to certify DoD contractors’ cybersecurity practices and bolster supply chain security. CMMC’s revision has moved away from self-certification, replacing current National Institute of Science and Technology’s (NIST) standards for cybersecurity with a five-level system of requirements for defense contractors.

The forum will feature Katie Arrington, chief information security officer at the Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and a 2020 Wash100 Award recipient, as a keynote speaker. She will address the CMMC’s timeline, how the certification process could change and will provide a memorandum of understanding with a newly established CMMC accrediting body.

Join Potomac Officers Club for its CMMC Forum 2020 on April 2nd to learn about the impact DoD’s CMMC will have on cybersecurity practices, supply chain security and other aspects of the federal market. 

The Future Battlefield: Open Tech for Overmatch Reserve Your Seat

As our nation’s adversaries continue to establish themselves as technological powers, the U.S. Army is developing a fully integrated open architecture design process to equip our soldiers with the latest innovative technology that is also reliable across every landscape.

An integrated digital battlefield will lower costs, accelerate innovation and save time for the Army while improving training and operations for U.S. soldiers through immersive technology, which includes virtual reality and augmented reality. 

Soldiers would also be connected through one integrated framework to deliver cutting edge analytics, unprecedented visibility and autonomy in critical situations.

Don’t miss your opportunity to learn how integration will improve soldiers’ capabilities for today’s performance and tomorrow’s innovations.
