SUMMARY:Acquisition Hour: Integrating DFARS Requirements Into Your Day-to-Day Cyber Practices
DESCRIPTION:This is Part 2 of a five part Acquisition Hour: Cyber Security series. \nIn today’s constantly evolving marketplace\, DOD contractors and subcontractor should adopt a cyber framework and develop flexible policies that will assist in hardening their computers and networks to the ever evolving threats and attacks. \nRealistically\, there is no one strategy or set of steps that can be taken that will defend against all current and future threats. Deciding on a starting point and what factors to include is not always a straightforward decision. \nBoth the NIST Cyber Framework and NIST 800-171 r1 provide a reasonable methodology\, factors and other resources for companies to use whether they are looking to comply with DFARS 252.204-7012 or mainly interested in developing a more secure and usable cyber posture for their company. \nThis webinar will focus on integrating the NIST Framework and associated publications into a company’s cyber planning efforts. \nSpeaker: Marc Violate\, Wisconsin Procurement Institute (WPI) \nThis webinar is eligible for 1 CPE credit. \nTo view a schedule of all upcoming webinars CLICK HERE

SUMMARY:Acquisition Hour: Integrating DFARS Requirements Into Your Day-to-Day Cyber Practices
DESCRIPTION:In today’s constantly evolving marketplace\, DOD contractors and subcontractor should adopt a cyber framework and develop flexible policies that will assist in hardening their computers and networks to the ever evolving threats and attacks. \nRealistically\, there is no one strategy or set of steps that can be taken that will defend against all current and future threats. Deciding on a starting point and what factors to include is not always a straightforward decision. \nBoth the NIST Cyber Framework and NIST 800-171 r1 provide a reasonable methodology\, factors and other resources for companies to use whether they are looking to comply with DFARS 252.204-7012 or mainly interested in developing a more secure and usable cyber posture for their company. \nThis webinar will focus on integrating the NIST Framework and associated publications into a company’s cyber planning efforts. \nSpeaker: Marc Violate\, Wisconsin Procurement Institute (WPI) \nThis webinar is eligible for 1 CPE credit. \nTo view a schedule of all upcoming webinars CLICK HERE
