The release of the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) 2.0 marks a significant step in government cybersecurity requirements for the defense industry.
CMMC 2.0 establishes standardized cybersecurity standards for defense contractors based on the sensitivity of the information they handle, creating a more resilient defense industrial base.
Organizations should follow a three-step approach to navigate CMMC 2.0: assessment, roadmap development, and long-term sustainability of compliance.
CMMC 2.0 is not just about compliance, but about creating sustainable security practices and may serve as a model for other critical infrastructure industries.
