Over the last year, we’ve learned the importance of rigorous hand washing and proper mask-wearing to protect ourselves and others. So, how can the Federal government apply stringent cyber hygiene to protect critical data? Recently implemented DoD certifications and programs, like CMMC and CSfC, offer a roadmap. Why are these programs so important, and how might we translate their risk-reduction strategies for government suppliers to Federal civilian data compliance efforts?

On Thursday, May 6 from 1:30 – 2:30 p.m. EDT, we sat down with experts for the complimentary “Digital Hygiene: Tips for Ensuring Data Security Compliance” webinar and discussed the core tenants of data security compliance between government and third parties and what Federal agencies can learn from early DoD success.
