January 5, 2024: Friday Op-Ed

This Friday Op-Ed is based on this article, on CMMC COST that discusses the cost for Defense Industrial Base companies to implement the CMMC Framework.  So off that I discuss the value of cybersecurity frameworks and how SMBs can get started with them.  They don't have to be difficult (even though they seem like it.)
Give a listen, tell a friend. Fell free to email me at darren@thecyburguy.com.
