Cybersecurity Training for Defense Suppliers
Sept 24 - Los Angeles County
In-Person & Online Webinar
8:00 AM - 5:00 PM
The primary purpose of our one-day workshop is to ensure that small businesses are aware of the cybersecurity requirements mandated under Defense Federal Acquisition Regulations Supplement (DFARS) Subpart 204.73. We will focus on understanding the risks associated with safeguarding controlled unclassified DoD information.
The workshop will focus on the 14 groups of controls from NIST SP 800-171, with examples highlighting what happens when these controls are not implemented. By the end each workshop, you will become familiar with all 110 controls and be able to better identify the areas where you may need greater focus to meet the DoD’s cybersecurity expectations.
This training is being offered both In-Person and Online. We hope you’ll join us.

KCET Blue Sky Metropolis -
Southern California and the Journey
to the Skies and Space
How did Southern California become the aerospace capital of the world? What were the consequences of this development for the region, for the nation and for aerospace itself? Narrated by Emmy Award® winning actor Tony Goldwyn and written and directed by two-time Primetime- and Peabody Award-winning filmmaker Peter Jones, “Blue Sky Metropolis,”, is a series of four one-hour episodes that examine the largest Southern California-grown industry that, nevertheless, has received only a fraction of the attention heaped upon the Hollywood entertainment business.
