International cooperation has become crucial to disrupt the operations of malicious cybercrime actors. A prime example of this is ‘Operation Magnus’ which has showcased the effectiveness of global collaboration in tackling sophisticated threats. By dismantling their infrastructure and exposing key players, Operation Magnus not only delivered a significant blow to cybercriminals but also sent shockwaves throughout underground forums and dark web communities.

Companies across industries have invested a lot of money in Data Loss Prevention (DLP) solutions, thinking these would help protect important data and comply with regulatory mandates like GDPR, HIPAA, and PCI DSS.

Just about every organization works with some amount of sensitive information, but the defense industry’s information is more sensitive than most. That’s why the United States Department of Defense (DoD) created the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC). This cybersecurity model helps protect controlled data in the defense industry — and, by extension, the military personnel who rely on that data to stay productive and safe.

With the final CMMC rule published, here’s a summary of everything you need to know for your CMMC Level and when. Another step closer. After more than seven years in the making, the US Department of Defense (DoD) finalized a rule establishing the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) program and outlining how it will work. The final program rule was published in the Federal Register on 15 October and will go into effect on 16 December.
