The Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) is not just another compliance hurdle—it’s a pivotal framework that the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) is implementing to ensure robust cybersecurity practices across its defense industrial base (DIB). While the rollout is complex and will take time, ignoring its requirements could lead to lost contracts and diminished credibility.
