In an era when digital vulnerabilities can translate into real-world threats, the security of our nation’s defense industrial base has never been more critical. Many contractors that work with the Department of Defense overlook this aspect of their responsibilities. Security is more than a contractual obligation.
That’s why we’re dedicating two essential sessions at CMMC CON 2024: Behind the Screen on September 25, on protecting national security, where DOD primes will delve into the critical responsibility of safeguarding our country’s secrets. Michael Berger, Principal Defense and Aerospace Market Sector Leader at Capgemini Government Solutions, will join CyberSheath CEO Eric Noonan for a Q&A session titled “Protecting National Security: The Global Challenge of Cybersecurity, Compliance and Collaboration.” This will follow an earlier Q&A session titled “Protecting National Security: Leaning into CMMC” with Kelly Mullins, Vice President of Global Operations at Edge Case Research.
Berger brings a unique blend of public and private sector expertise to the table. His journey began in the halls of power, advising on defense policy issues for the Senate Armed Services Committee in the United States Senate. At BAE Systems, he played a crucial role in the Government Relations team, serving as a vital link between the company and federal decision-makers. He has been with Capgemini for more than seven years. This foundational experience in shaping national defense strategy provides Berger with an unparalleled perspective on the criticality of CMMC implementation.
