GACO to host seminar for defense contractors
CALIFORNIA – California University of Pennsylvania’s Government Agency Coordination Office is sponsoring a seminar entitled “Cybersecurity Requirements for DoD Contractors” from 9 a.m. to noon Dec. 6 at the DoubleTree hotel, Bigelow Square, Pittsburgh.
At this free seminar, companies will learn about the cybersecurity controls required for government contractors on DoD procurements containing DFAR 252.204-7012. This DFARS clause cites NIST Special Publication 800-171 containing minimum cybersecurity standards to become compliant. It describes fourteen areas of security requirements for protecting the confidentiality of Covered Unclassified Information.
For companies that hold prime contracts or subcontracts with DoD, each of these NIST areas contain specific security requirements that DoD contractors must implement by Dec. 31.
Scott Zimmerman, principal cybersecurity engineer, and John Bartholomew, executive director, corporate governance & compliance, of Concurrent Technologies Corp. will be the presenters on the topic.
The seminar is free but pre-registration is suggested by Dec. 4.
