DENVER –The Defense Contract Management Agency’s Defense Industrial Base Cybersecurity Assessment Center, or DIBCAC, recently led a week-long cybersecurity training event here to strengthen assessment consistency and support the Department of War’s mission.
The DIBCAC training team gathered assessors and business operations staff from across the country to refine skills, align processes and address emerging cybersecurity challenges across the defense industrial base.
“This training strengthens how we execute the mission across the enterprise,” said Walt Eady, DCMA’s Technical Directorate executive director. “Our teams assess some of the most critical programs in the War Department, and they must operate with precision, consistency and confidence every time.”
The training focused on ensuring teams assess contractor environments in a consistent, repeatable and predictable manner. That consistency directly supports DIBCAC’s role in evaluating critical defense programs under [Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification](https://business.defense.gov/Programs/Cyber-Security-Resources/CMMC-20/) Level 3 requirements.
“DIBCAC sits at a critical point in the acquisition process,” said Nick DelRosso, DIBCAC director. “These assessments help validate whether our most important contractors can protect sensitive information and that directly impacts who supplies the warfighter.”
DIBCAC assessors serve a key role in protecting sensitive defense information tied to the nation’s most vital programs.
“Their assessments act as a gate for contractors supporting the department’s most critical systems, which ensures those environments meet strict cybersecurity standards before a contract can be awarded,” DelRosso said.
During the training, industry experts provided technical briefings on cloud environments commonly used across the defense industrial base. The sessions gave assessors deeper insight into platform configurations, security…
