The future is already here. Is it everything we expected? That depends on who you ask, but the nightmare of maintaining cybersecurity has certainly persisted just as many sci-fi stories predicted. As we move further into the digital era, the stakes in cybersecurity only get higher and higher. So what are some of the main things that organizations should consider in building a solid cybersecurity strategy? Here are a few tips below.

Aaron McCray, Ignyte’s Chief Operating Officer, is giving a brief overview of the changes to CMMC 2.0, and more specifically its Practice levels vs Maturity levels in the video below. Aaron is a commercial risk management leader by trade and a Commander in the U.S. Navy Reserves.

The Department of Defense (DoD) has recently released new CMMC 2.0 audit and assessment scoping guides. The awaited CMMC 2.0 Level 1 and Level 2 scoping guides provide insight into how a certified CMMC third-party assessor organization (C3PAO) may scope the CMMC audit and how businesses can potentially scope their own environments. These scoping guides are critical for the CMMC audit and boundary diagrams developed as part of your business’s System Security Plan (SSP).

Today we are going to discuss controls in the context of any variation of the NIST 800-53 and NIST 800-171 requirements. NIST SP 800-53 provides us with a fundamental understanding of how government and many commercial organizations structure control language.

The Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) is an emerging program created to ensure cyber protection of vulnerable Federal Contract Information (FCI) and Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) for companies within the Defense Industrial Base (DIB).

Currently, only four companies are officially approved by the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification Accreditation Body (CMMC-AB) as authorized C3PAOs, and just under 200 organizations are currently listed as C3PAO Candidates pending a CMMC Maturity Level 3 Assessment.

The emerging Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) will mandate nearly the entire federal government supply chain and over 300,000 contractors to get audited and certified against the CMMC protocol. The caveat is that some organizations that build Commercial-Off-The-Shelf items or Commercially Available Off-The-Shelf (COTS) products for the Department of Defense (DoD) do NOT require a CMMC certificate . However, the devil is in the details!

Business owners whose revenue streams depend significantly or partially on government contracts have been recently faced with the mandatory emerging regulations called Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification, also known as CMMC. All organizations working with the Department of Defense (DoD) and Federal government as their prime or subcontractors must be audited against these requirements by a competent third-party CMMC auditor.

If you are dealing with vulnerability management, chances are you’ve been wondering if there is a better way to store, manage, and link Security Content Automation Protocol (SCAP) scan data. The answer is yes! With Ignyte’s machine learning capabilities. The new SCAP module, recently released by Ignyte Assurance Platform, reimagines the user-friendly interface to visualize and compare scan data in one place, as well as track changes and progress over time.
