Checking all the boxes for CMMC in higher education
Organizations seeking Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) include academic research centers (i.e., enclaves), and like other DoD suppliers and partners handling controlled unclassified information (CUI), they must certify their networks and systems meet security standards as a condition of participating in government research projects. Turning to a zero trust architecture can be the best course of action to overcome common challenges.
In this group discussion, hear from distinguished experts who will lead participants through the key considerations for IT and cyber leaders in higher education on a journey to CMMC accreditation.
