For organizations that deal with the defense infrastructure –
cybersecurity is more than just a buzzword.

Recently the US Department of Defense (DoD) created a new
certification process – the Cybersecurity Maturity Model
Certificate (CMMC) – to ensure that all its vendors and contractors
follow established best cybersecurity practices.

For organizations that work along the DoD supply chain, this
means adhering to a strict regulatory framework, which can be quite
complex. For one, must ensure that cybersecurity processes and
practices are aligned with the type and sensitivity of the
information that needs to be protected.

Even though the model is tiered (from “basic cybersecurity
hygiene” to “advanced”), organizations will expend a significant
effort to ensure they align with the compliance level appropriate
for their contracts.

This is why one XDR provider has created a new guide to
demonstrate how it helps organizations achieve CMMC compliance
(download the whitepaper here[1]).

The company, Cynet, aims to simplify cybersecurity by reducing
and consolidating the many tools required to protect organizations.
In an increasingly complex regulatory landscape, organizations must
remain agile while staying secure, and Cynet hopes to provide both
in one package.

To help show how it does so, the company has created a
whitepaper that shows how the company claims to help organizations
meet CMMC standards at any level.

The company’s support comes in multiple arenas, including:

  • Protection across eight CMMC domains. This is
    the crux of the company’s support. Cynet claims to help
    organizations meet several standards and practices that would place
    them immediately within a minimum of level 1 (“basic cyber
    hygiene”) protection.
  • Simplified security stacks. Instead of having
    to track and ensure compliance across a complex and often
    unconnected stack of security tools, Cynet’s centralized
    administration means organizations can reduce their fault
    points.
  • The platform’s automation helps ensure
    compliance
    . Cynet claims that its automation capabilities
    mean that environments are much better protected from endpoint to
    network and can consistently remain compliant even in the face of
    changing threats.
