In the last decade, there has been an increase in the number and severity of cyberattacks. Contrary to what many would think, even large corporations and state agencies are susceptible to such threats. According to a report by the Center for Strategic & International Studies (CSIS), a think tank, there have been hundreds of attacks on U.S. state agencies, including the Department of Defense (DoD). Previously, contractors servicing the DoD were allowed to conduct self-certification and assessment. However, in light of the increasing threats, companies must now meet the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) requirements to bid on contracts.
