Webinar presented by Ari Santiago, President/CEO of IT Direct. Hosted by Lisa Wood of CT-PTAC. Recorded 7/19/18
Are you downline of a DOD contract? Did you know you are at risk of losing your contract if you are not NIST compliant? As of December 31st of last year, NIST compliance is a requirement for all suppliers handling any amount of controlled unclassified information - that covers a lot of ground! The truth is, even if you don't handle this kind of information, NIST compliance is a best practices framework for cybersecurity. And every organization needs that!

In this webinar, you will
- Learn what NIST is, what NIST 800-171 is, and why it is important to your business
- Discover the current state of cybercrime to understand why cybersecurity is so important
- Learn the basic tenants of cybersecurity at a high, non-technical, level
- Uncover the 14 main requirements that make up the NIST framework and how this framework helps to meet your cybersecurity needs

Whether or not your organization ultimately decides to follow the NIST framework, it is important to protect yourself, your employees, your customers, and your intellectual property. Cybercriminals are increasingly going after small and medium sized businesses of all types. Make sure your business is prepared.
