After decades of delay, cybersecurity has become a defining issue for the United States. In response, when the White House laid out its zero trust requirements in January 2022, it set an ambitious goal – that all agencies have their zero trust infrastructure in place before October 1, 2024. This is because of the reality of the digital age: a persistent threat environment is the norm in the IT world, and agencies have to assume they...

Military contractors of all types are trying to work through the Department of Defense’s Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) 2.0. It has been something of a moving target, as the Department of Defense has changed the certification model from five levels in CMMC 1.0 to three in the current version, to better align with existing federal standards and cut red tape for small and mid-sized companies. But the purpose of the CMMC...
