SUMMARY:Acquisition Hour: Information Management and Security for Federal Contractors
DESCRIPTION:This is Part 1 of a five part Acquisition Hour: Cyber Security series. \nFederal contractors deal with information from a variety of programs and in many instances the information requires special handling which limit its distribution and/or sharing. \nThe handling and sharing requirements apply to the information in all of its formats – printed\, sketched\, discussed\, or viewable as an end product\, a model or mockup. Protecting this information is a required and essential element of contract compliance. \nThis webinar will provide an overview of the key elements and considerations that should be included when developing processes and procedures that are consistent with the requirements. \nSpeaker: Marc Violante\, Wisconsin Procurement Institute (WPI) \nThis webinar is eligible for 1 CPE credit. \nTo view a schedule of all upcoming webinars CLICK HERE
