APEX: Department of Defense Government Contracting and Cybersecurity

Learn about the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification with this free event.

Join GOED for its Annual Department of Defense Government Event!

Nevada-based businesses that have or plan to pursue federal government contracts with the Department of Defense (DoD) are encouraged to attend and learn about the DoD-developed Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) Program. As seen on the agency’s Chief Information Officer’s website, cybersecurity is a top priority as the defense industrial base (DIB) faces increasingly frequent and complex cyberattacks. To strengthen DIB cybersecurity and better protect agency information, the agency developed the CMMC Program.

The leader from the National Defense Industrial Association (NDIA)-Southern Nevada (SNV) Chapter will be teaching event attendees about the agency’s CMMC Program. The State of Nevada plans to record his presentation, in order to provide a link to the recording to attendees post-event and to those who are unable to attend.
