In this episode Jacob speaks with Laura Rodgers about her work helping to prepare North Carolina businesses for the DoD's Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC).

Laura has established an excellent training program that guides North Carolina businesses in the creation of cybersecurity programs. The effort is in collaboration with the North Carolina Military Business Center, North Carolina State University, and other strategic partners.

Here are a few of the topics we discussed:

• Unique challenges faced by small businesses
• Concerns the government is not properly marking or is overmarking documents as CUI
• Importance of collaboration between technical and compliance teams
• Challenges that incident response presents to small businesses.
