#CyberNews The United States Department of Defense (DoD) has finalized its Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) 2.0 rule, establishing a new tiered security framework to enhance compliance and protect sensitive unclassified information among defense contractors. The updated model reduces the assessment levels from five to three, simplifying the certification process, especially for small and medium-sized businesses. Under the new rule, contractors in the second and third tiers will undergo third-party assessments to ensure adherence to stricter security standards, aimed at safeguarding federal contract information against cyber threats.

Update: As of yesterday, Thursday August 15th, the proposed CMMC 2.0 rule has been moved forward in its process of approval and now will be open for public comment until October 15th 2024, which would put the rule in place by first quarter of 2025. CMMC or Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification has been long awaited in the defense industry as a way to protect CUI (Controlled Unclassified Information) and a true method to attest that your business meets the security standards to work with the Department of Defense. We are now in the final phases of CMMC becoming reality. It has been a long journey, but I do believe if you haven't already started to prepare that you should start now. Once CMMC is mandated, DOD contracts will only be awarded to companies that meet the standard. #CMMC #DOD #NIST #Security #CyberSecurity
