According to CISCO, the CMMC is designed as a unifying standard to ensure that contractors properly protect sensitive information. Three levels exist, with Level One containing seventeen practices to follow. Level 2 is more stringent, and Level Three is the highest. Domains within the model include Access Control, Identification and Authentication, Incident Response, Awareness and Training, among others. A few of these domains (like Identification and Authentication) could incorporate zero-trust, a paradigm gaining ground in the cybersecurity community.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Considering Zero Trust as a Cybersecurity Model<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cTrust, but verify\u201d as the saying goes. However, in cybersecurity efforts it should be \u201cVerify, then trust.\u201d Zero-trust is the practice of identifying each request for access to the network, and authenticating or verifying the request as a prerequisite for access to systems. The zero-trust paradigm still is a work in progress, because it\u2019s a different way of thinking about cybersecurity, one that includes all of the organization and influences workforce and workflow decisions. The Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification has the idea of zero-trust built in, and even aligning your cybersecurity efforts with the practices of the first level should help considerably.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">CMMC\u2019s Role in Cybersecurity and\u00a0 Compliance<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even if your business does not work directly with Department of Defense contractors, you have good reason to model your cybersecurity and compliance efforts on CMMC\u2019s standards for data protection and compliance. First, CMMC can fit within your current infrastructure and help you comply with already-applicable regulations like PCI-DSS or HIPAA. Second, If your business does any work with government contractors, your compliance will eventually be required to comply at one of the three levels. Following CMMC can help you keep your system safe by only allowing authorized entities to access your network (\u201czero-trust\u201d), and protecting your data. All of the CMMC domains pertain to aspects of cybersecurity, and could make your cybersecurity and compliance efforts easier.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cybersecurity, once an additional IT component, is continually becoming integral to a company\u2019s way of doing business.
