Getting faster approvals for the DOD with CMMC, Ryan Bonner and Cisco's Andy Stewart

Doing business with the Department of Defense has never been easy. But it’s about to get more complicated for tens of thousands of defense contractors and suppliers who must now prove they can meet a complex set of cybersecurity requirements as part of the Pentagon’s Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) program. CMMC is DoD’s latest attempt to stem the tide of intellectual property loss and data exfiltration within its complex supply chain. “The United States is losing between $600 billion and $1 trillion in intellectual property to foreign powers each year,” much of it from within the Defense Industrial Base, says Ryan Bonner.
