While this is a step in the right direction, there are some confusion, speculation and rumors related to CMMC accreditation. The following are three common misconceptions around CMMC certification, with clarification to help organizations requiring CMMC certification to stay well-informed on the necessary guidelines and procedures.
Because cybersecurity events are complicated, we rely on analogies to understand how they work. Analogies are useful, but certain oversimplifications are perpetuating inaccurate narratives. These inaccuracies misdirect productive discussion and as a result, proposed policy and solutions are being based on faulty assumptions. A faulty premise can only yield flawed results…and cyber national security is not an area in which the United States has margin for error.
How often do you consider gravity? And the power of this invisible force to move oceans, hold planets in orbit, and quite literally, keep us all grounded. Now, how about women in technology? Another force of nature that, I think, deserves more visibility and recognition. Men haven’t cornered the market on technological genius, innovation, and invention. But too often, women have had to work all the harder not only to prove that fact, but also to be equally recognized for their extraordinary contributions.
I dare to say this: “companies need to stop playing the game of pin the blame on the developer whenever a security vulnerability is discovered or exploited in applications.” Rather than pointing fingers at developers, organizations need to empower these professionals to help them build and expand their cloud-based initiatives without having to worry about security.

Traditional cybersecurity training can be individual or LMS-based and generally hinges on a 30- to 60-minute session of basic training once a year.

In today’s digital world, personal security is directly tied to corporate security. Therefore, it is critical for organizations to implement employee security guidelines and best practices to improve not only the employees’ digital hygiene and personal security but also the company’s security.
Let’s face it, cybersecurity isn’t the responsibility of a single person, team or department -- it’s a shared responsibility of the entire organization, along with its extended network of technology partners, vendors and suppliers. Since humans are the biggest cybersecurity risk, the concept of a security culture is even more relevant and significant in today’s times.
