DAY TWO 15:15 - 16:15PM EXECUTIVE BREAKOUT TWO

DEFINING BOUNDARIES:
THE CRITICAL ROLE OF EXTERNAL SERVICE PROVIDERS (ESPS) IN SECURING THE DIB

It’s no secret - the DoD has stated that CMMC Level 2 validation will be required for MSPs and MSSPs who serve in the capacity or performing IT or security capabilities on behalf of an OSC.  What does this mean to the defense contractor ecosystem?

This session will introduce MSPs for the Protection of Critical Infrastructure, review the mission of the collective, and walk through key positions the industry group is taking, with a deep-dive into the recently published paper on ESP Scoping and Program Recommendations submitted as part of the CMMC Proposed Rule comments.

Even if you are not leveraging an MSP, it is important to understand the impact this could have on your supply chain.
