CAUTION CMMC AHEAD: YOU MAY BE A COVERED ENTITY!

Part 2

1 Hour (45 minutes presentation, 15 min Q&A)

In this session of the Ankura CMMC series, a panel of seasoned cyber professionals and legal counsel with experience advising clients in the defense space will address organizations that may not be sure if they will be required to comply with the CMMC. The webinar is tailored to organizations such as foreign entities, universities, and commercial off the shelf (COTS) suppliers who may not traditionally consider themselves part of the Defense Industrial Base (DIB) but would like to know more. It will also address organizations who may supply a DIB company and don’t consider their product or service to be part of the CMMC requirements.
