Feeling Insecure ?

In today ’ s news we hear about security breaches in cell phone providers , department store chains and more . The messages go something like “ XYZ store has had a security breach by an outside source and some important information has potentially been revealed such as name , date of birth , social security numbers and credit card information . Please make sure to change your passwords . XYZ store will be providing free fraud insurance as a result of this breach .” This is becoming all too common for the average consumer . It can be alarming to say the least .
While we never want these things to happen to in our personal lives , it becomes very disturbing when it happens in the military and defense manufacturing world . Too many classified military details have been gained by outside forces . As you might imagine this has created an immediate response to mitigate this loss of intel .
The new security CMMC “ Cyber Maturity Model Certification ” has become a standard that all military and government manufacturing contractors will need to adhere to . You can read more details in our feature article from Staci Nelson inside this issue .
As cybercrimes continue to evolve , cyber protection is and will be more in demand . Make sure you are aware of your risks and keep your business safe .
