This Friday Op-Ed is based on this article, on CMMC COST that discusses the cost for Defense Industrial Base companies to implement the CMMC Framework.  So off that I discuss the value of cybersecurity frameworks and how SMBs can get started with them.  They don't have to be difficult (even though they seem like it.)

As we enter 2024, I am doing a dual-cast (is that even a word) that I am putting on both the CyBUr Smart Morning News Update and CyBUr Guy Podcast feeds.  This will lay out my thoughts for both podcasts for 2024, a quick look at my "cyber" predictions for 2024, and thank everyone for listening and supporting both efforts.
