Contractors in the Defense Industrial Base (DIB) eagerly await the final rulemaking for the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) 2.0 program. While it’s clear that the NIST 800-171 framework is at the program’s core, many questions are left unanswered.

At CMMC CON 2022, contractors can gain the perspective of an assessor through the eyes of Schellman managing principal and chief growth officer Doug Barbin. The virtual conference hosted by CyberSheath, the largest CMMC managed service vendor, returns on Sept. 28 at 9 a.m. EDT. Registration is still open for the free, one-day conference.

Schellman, a proud CMMC CON 2022 sponsor, is one of the first authorized CMMC Third-Party Assessment Organizations (C3PAOs) specializing in NIST 800-171 compliance assessments. Schellman has been a leader for more than 20 years in technology compliance and certification services including FedRAMP assessments, attest examinations (SOC 1, SOC 2, SOC 3), HITRUST certifications, PCI assessments, penetration testing services, ISO 27001, 27701, 9001, 20000, and 22301 certifications, and more. The presentation will allow registered attendees to ask questions as the certification process draws nearer.

“We started CMMC CON to arm contractors with the tools they need to achieve compliance, and having Doug join this year’s conference allows them to gain a perspective we rarely hear about,” said Eric Noonan, CEO at CyberSheath. “With guidance on the assessment process, these contractors can better position themselves to win new business and grow their operations.”

Barbin is a 25-year veteran in cybersecurity who has served as audit partner, product management executive, mortgage CTO/COO, fraud auditor, and computer forensic investigations leader.

“I am excited to be able to participate in CyberSheath’s CMMC CON along with the many other DIB cybersecurity leaders,” Barbin said. “Between the continuously emerging threats and the pending compliance mandates, it is the right time to talk about actionable steps that companies can be taking today.”

Barbin joins a roster of speakers that includes Cyber AB chairman Jeff Dalton, director of CMMC policy Stacy Bostjanick, and keynote speaker Brian Krebs, an independent journalist. Learn more at cmmccon2022.com.
