Companies should not be intimidated by the multitiered Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC), says a panel of experts. The new system is geared for companies to approach it methodically as they learn more about its implementation and requirements.
In a remote session hosted by AFCEA’s Virtual CMMC Symposium, the panelists encouraged companies to proceed through its steps and seek advice from others, particularly prime contractors. Janey Nodeen, president, Burke Consortium Inc., said, “There is a path to success. It’s not as hard as you think, and at the end of the day it’s very, very valuable to your company.
“It is very much a crawl-walk-run approach, and don’t overthink it,” she added.
