ITI Reacts to Proposed Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification Rule
Global tech trade association ITI issued the following
statement from its Executive Vice
President of Policy Gordon Bitko in response to the U.S. Department of
Defense’s (DoD) interim rule on the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification
(CMMC) program:
"The
U.S. federal cybersecurity landscape has evolved significantly since the
Department of Defense last announced a public call for stakeholder feedback on
its Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification program over two years ago. ITI
and our members remain committed to working with the Department and ensuring
that the U.S. protects national security without compromising its technological
leadership, innovation, or international competitiveness. As we review the
updated rule, we are paying particular attention to how it aligns with existing
federal information security regimes, as well as other standards and best
practices.”
ITI
has previously called on DoD to further improve the cybersecurity baseline
requirements for the defense industrial base in order to more efficiently and
effectively achieve U.S. national security goals without hindering innovation.
