Cyber Cafe Series: CMMC

Well we did it…we threw our hat in the very crowded ring of webinars on CMMC. Why should you listen to this one vice all the others out there? For one thing, we wanted to break down what CMMC really means for your company and your security budget. Contrary to some of the information out there, the sky is not falling and GCC High is not necessarily required for compliance.

If you missed it, you can catch Hilary and Heather discussing CMMC basics, or download and review our show notes here.
