As the Department of War rolls out the Cybersecurity Model Maturity Certification (CMMC), organizations across the Defense Industrial Base (DIB) must prepare to demonstrate measurable cybersecurity maturity for protecting Federal Contract Information (FCI) and Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI). With CMMC requirements beginning to appear in new DoW solicitations, contractors and subcontractors must move beyond theory and into practical, auditable implementation.
Experts from Wiz, Coalfire Federal, and Amazon Web Services joined together for a DIB-focused discussion on how to efficiently prepare for CMMC using cloud-native security, proven compliance methodologies, and continuous visibility across your environment.
This webinar was designed for all defense contractors, including primes and subcontractors navigating CMMC Level 1 and Level 2 requirements and preparing for assessments.
In this session, we covered:
- What CMMC means for the DIB: Current timelines, certification levels, assessment types, and how requirements flow down the supply chain
- Scoping CUI in cloud environments: Identifying where CUI lives, how it moves, and how to properly define your CMMC boundary
- Accelerating readiness with AWS: Leveraging the AWS platform and reference architectures to support NIST SP 800-171r2 aligned controls
- Continuous security & evidence collection: How leveraging a CNAPP like Wiz provides real-time visibility to support CMMC and NIST SP 800-171r2 requirements
- Assessment-ready guidance: Coalfire Federal's perspective on readiness challenges, assessment challenges, and how to prepare for self or third-party assessments
Attendees:
- Gained actionable guidance to strengthen their security posture
- Enhanced visibility across cloud environments
- Accelerated their path toward CMMC certification through streamlined, high-impact strategies that prioritize resource value
