Leveraging CDM DEFEND: Agile Cybersecurity Has Arrived

Earn 1 CEU!

Nation-state, mercenary, cyber-jihadist and other adversaries continue to exploit vulnerabilities in Frankensteined legacy systems despite the growing outcry among agency and legislative leaders demanding action. Meaningful change requires tools which give agency leaders the agility, flexibility, visibility, and contract vehicles to quickly acquire new, cutting-edge cybersecurity solutions.

CDM DEFEND is a powerful single award task order which builds upon CDM’s existing phases creating a program focused less on buying services and technologies, but more on creating a strong cybersecurity posture that evolves over time, ultimately helping to reduce the federal government’s threat surface. By leveraging CDM DEFEND, federal agencies will have easier access to technologies which address critical areas such as incident response, automation, and insider threats.

Learning Objectives:

• Hear from Public Sector Leaders with direct experience leveraging CDM DEFEND
• Learn from Private Sector Leaders who are managing CDM DEFEND on how to best leverage this for your agency
• Understand how the Task Order works
• Identify resources for your agency

Attendees will earn one hour of continuing education toward their cybersecurity or technology certification.
