In this episode, we talk to James Goepel about the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC). He discusses this important new certification for supply chain security within the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) system, addressing the following:

• Why was the CMMC created? • Who needs the CMMC? • How will the CMMC work? • Will the CMMC spread beyond the DoD?

James is a former member of the Board of Directors for the CMMC Accreditation Body, and is now CEO of Fathom Cyber.
