In today’s rapidly evolving digital landscape, cybersecurity remains a paramount concern for manufacturers. This presentation will delve into two critical areas shaping the future of cybersecurity and critical for manufacturers to understand: the latest updates to the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) and the emerging implications of generative AI technologies.

1. CMMC Update: The CMMC framework has undergone significant revisions aimed at enhancing the cybersecurity posture of defense contractors. This section will provide an overview of the latest updates, including changes in certification levels, assessment processes, and compliance requirements. Attendees will gain insights into how these updates impact their cybersecurity strategies and what steps they need to take to achieve and maintain compliance.
2. Cybersecurity Implications of Generative AI: Generative AI, with its ability to create content and simulate human-like interactions, presents both opportunities and challenges for cybersecurity. This section will explore the dual-edged nature of generative AI, examining how it can be leveraged to enhance security measures, such as threat detection and response, while also addressing the potential risks it poses, including the creation of sophisticated phishing attacks and deepfakes. Attendees will learn about the latest advancements in generative AI and strategies to mitigate associated cybersecurity risks.

By the end of this presentation, manufacturers will be better equipped to navigate these complex and dynamic areas effectively.
