CMMC AB establishes advisory council for industry to provide feedback

摘要

The accreditation body behind the Pentagon's Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification program is creating an Industry Advisory Council composed of private-sector leaders from organizations that will be seeking to get certified to compete for DOD contracts. "The CMMC-AB IAC mission is to provide a unified voice as representatives of Organizations Seeking Certification (OSCs) to supply key feedback, input and recommendations for implementing CMMC back to the DOD and the CMMC-AB," the accreditation body said in an announcement today, calling the new group "one of the strongest and most important Industry Advisory Councils (IAC) ever assembled in cybersecurity." The task force will be chaired by current CMMC-AB board treasurer Yong-Gon Chon, who "was previously CEO of Focal Point Data Risk and currently sat on the boards of RiskRecon (acquired by MasterCard) & Cloudentity and fellow at the Culinary Institute of America. Mr. Chon also led the cyber division of Kratos Defense and Security Solutions after its acquisition of Securelnfo," according to the accreditation body's website.
