Demystifying CMMC to Protect the DIB (GUEST: John Christly)

John Christly, VP of Services for Blue Team Alpha, and author of two cybersecurity books, brings his wealth of experience to this episode of Kitecast. With a background spanning roles such as CEO, CIO, CISO, and CTO, as well as military service, Christly offers unique insights into the world of cybersecurity compliance for Department of Defense (DoD) contractors.
In this enlightening discussion, Christly demystifies the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) process. He explains how many organizations are surprised to find they're further along in compliance than they initially thought, thanks to existing frameworks like DFARS and NIST 800-171. However, he cautions that self-attestation is no longer sufficient, emphasizing the need for third-party verification in the new CMMC landscape.
