Had an excellent experience attending this past Tuesday's webinar on the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC)! ?? The session provided valuable insights from industry experts and members of the Defense Supply Chain who are actively pursuing their certifications. If you're part of the defense supply chain or looking to break into government contracts, I strongly recommend checking out this webinar for crucial information on CMMC. Thank you to Rhode Island Manufacturers Association - RIMA for putting this together! Feel free to reach out to me directly with any questions about the webinar or AXIOTROP. Let's connect!
