AMP SoCal Webinar Series - Episode 3
Cybersecurity for Manufacturers: Are You Ready for the 12/31/17 Deadline?
Cyber threats are increasing in sophistication and frequency. The protection of data has become a necessity in today’s environment. In response to growing cybersecurity concerns, all commercial government, supply chain, manufacturing, aerospace, and automotive suppliers must implement the cybersecurity controls, listed in the NIST 800-171 guidelines by December 31, 2017. Failure to comply will reduce or eliminate an organization’s chances of qualification to renewing contracts. Is your business ready?
Register for AMP SoCal’s next free 30-minute webinar to learn more about cybersecurity for manufacturers. Martha Daniel, the founder, president and CEO of Cytellix and its parent company, Information Management Resources, Inc. (IMRI), will present some of today’s top cyber threats and what steps you can take to protect yourself and your company before the December 31 deadline.
