AFCEA International
AFCEA is a professional association that connects people, ideas and solutions globally. We do that by developing networking and educational opportunities and providing them worldwide in an ethical manner. This enables military, government, industry and academia to align technology to meet the needs of those who serve in critical areas, which include defense, security, cyber and intelligence. As a member-based, nonprofit 501(c)6 organization, we have a long history of encouraging innovation and advancing technology to ensure preparedness and security. We officially formed in 1946, but our organizational roots trace back to the Civil War. The association includes individual members and corporate members, and AFCEA's international regional chapter network helps members build networks, grow relationships and expand opportunities. AFCEA members and constituents include professionals in military, government, industry and academia.
Upcoming AFCEA International Events
Adversaries have taken to cyberspace to conduct continuous confrontations. Protecting cyber assets requires more than a single entity, it demands multiple organizations. Join us for this three-day event and interact with IT professionals, hear from experts and develop solutions to ensure technology can connect people to information.
During this webinar, we'll take a deep dive into CMMC Levels 1, 2 and 3 – what each level entails, real-world examples and types of organizations impacted. Experts will unpack recurring pitfalls, improper or incomplete documentation, shaky scoping and boundary definitions, blind spots in CUI dataflows, “paper-only” policies that diverge from practice, weak evidence hygiene and overreliance on inherited controls or third-party vendors.
Attendees will gain a foundational knowledge of CMMC, understand its role in the DOW supply chain and take away proven best practices to avoid traps and map a realistic path to success.
Who Should Attend:
- Defense contractors
- IT leaders & cybersecurity professionals
- Compliance officers
- Government procurement consultants
