“John is an incredible leader who as the ability to connect with people no matter their position at an organization. He stays on top of the latest cybersecurity trends and technologies by being involved with top leaders in the field and top companies/organizations in the industry. Bringing together leadership, industry knowledge and humor makes him a great speaker for gatherings for technical and non-technical audiences. John also is a good person who cares about his family, good causes and his fellow veterans, which you can tell just when you meet him. I enjoyed working with him on speaking events and expect to see him on more main stages as time goes on.”

Jeff Baldwin, DSc
This is a fantastic resource and a well done document. There is a new CMMC FAQ. One question in the new FAQ stuck out to me: "Q4. Can Department contractors implement NIST SP 800-171 Revision 3? A4. Yes. Companies can implement Revision 3 but must use the Department’s Organization-Defined Parameters (ODPs) defined in the April 2025 memorandum, “Department of Defense Organization-Defined Parameters for National Institute of Standards and Technology Special Publication 800-171 Revision 3” found here: https://lnkd.in/eN5pnTzB. Because CMMC Assessments will be conducted against Revision 2 until the class deviation memo (Q3 of this section) is withdrawn or otherwise superseded, DIB companies must ensure any identified gaps between Revision 2 and Revision 3 are addressed." We won't know exactly when the class deviation will removed and CMMC will be on 800-171 Rev 3, but if you want to get a headstart you are permitted to implement Rev 3 if you use the DoD's Organizationally Defined Parameters (ODPs). I will note that the ODPs are subject to change during the rulemaking process. #cmmc

CISA LEADERSHIP IS BACK IN FOCUS POTUS has re-nominated Sean Plankey to serve as Director of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) after the role has remained without a Senate-confirmed leader for roughly a year. That gap matters - CISA sits at the center of U.S. cyber defense—supporting federal agencies, critical infrastructure operators, and state and local governments at a time when cyber risk is accelerating, not stabilizing. Leadership continuity, workforce stability, and clear strategic direction aren’t “nice to have” in this environment—they’re essential. Cybersecurity is now core national infrastructure, and leadership delays carry real operational consequences - this moment TRANCENDS politics. https://lnkd.in/enYqtui4 #Cybersecurity #CISA #Leadership #PublicPolicy #CyberDefense #NTSC
