The Defense Industrial Base (DIB) sector consists of companies that contribute to research, engineering, production, delivery, operations, installation, and support services. The cyber actors continue to target the DIB sector and the Department of Defense (DoD) supply chain for intellectual property and unclassified information. The DoD has released the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) to ensure appropriate levels of cybersecurity controls and processes are adequate and in place to protect Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) on DoD contractor systems.

The course starts with the details about the CMMC model structure (domains, capabilities, practices, and processes), how the model works, five process maturity levels, and five technical practices. The course learnings include knowledge about the CMMC capabilities, CMMC level 2 and level 3 practices beyond NIST 800-171, CMMC implementation, and scoring methodology. This interactive training course will ensure professionals and practitioners at all levels understand their roles and responsibilities, new developments, resources, and hallmarks of an effective compliance program.

In this course, you will be asked to read through lessons, participate in learning activities, and partake in knowledge checks designed to reinforce learning, followed by the end of the course final assessment.
