Anne Arundel Economic Development Corporation Workshop: Get DFARS NIST 800-171 Compliant with G2, Inc.

AAEDC, along with the Maryland Small Business Development Center and G2, Inc., an Annapolis Junction based cyber solutions and services organization, will host this information session targeted to federal government contractors working in the national defense space.  The event will highlight the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Publication 800-171 Protecting Covered Defense Information in Nonfederal Systems and Organizations, otherwise known as DFARS (Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement).  The regulation mandates that contractors be compliant with this set of requirements by the deadline of December 31, 2017 to ensure the security of Covered Defense Information (CDI).  Tom Conkle and Kelly Hood of G2, Inc., will review details of the regulation and the specific control families in 171 so attendees can better understand the necessary steps to compliance.
