Today, we’re talking about something that’s becoming a big deal for anyone working with the Department of Defense: the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification, or CMMC. If you want to win DoD contracts, you’ll need to understand what CMMC is and how it affects your business. The rules are changing, and this certification is quickly becoming a must-have.

To help explain it all, we’ve invited Michael Greenman, a cybersecurity expert with Deltek, who works with CMMC every day. He’ll break down what CMMC means, why it matters, and what steps you should take now. Whether you’re new to government contracts or have been in the game for years, this episode will help you get ready for what’s coming.
