🚨 Attention, Defense Contractors: Don't Let CMMC Compliance Become Your Financial Grim Reaper! ⚰️💸 Picture this: You’re sitting in your office, coffee in hand, feeling like the king (or queen) of the world. But wait—what’s this? Your CMMC compliance is as neglected as that gym membership you keep meaning to use! 😱 Now, let’s break it down with a little humor: 1. The “Lost Revenue” Fiasco Imagine waking up one morning and finding out you just lost a contract worth $1 million because your compliance paperwork is still gathering dust on your desk. That’s like finding out your favorite restaurant is permanently closed. *Cue the tears!* 🍔😭 2. Opportunity Costs Not renewing your contracts due to non-compliance is like getting kicked out of an all-you-can-eat buffet. You’re watching everyone else feast on lucrative contracts while you’re stuck at home munching on stale crackers. “Thanks for nothing, CMMC!” 🙄🍪 3. Operation: Expensive Fix Now you’re scrambling to get compliant and it’s going to cost you! You’ll need to hire consultants, upgrade your tech, and maybe even buy a crystal ball to predict your next move. That’s right; we’re talking tens of thousands of dollars. I hope you saved that last slice of pizza for dinner, because it’s going to be a rough month! 🍕💰 4. Insurance Premium Shock You think you’re saving money by not being compliant? Think again! Your cyber insurance costs just skyrocketed, and now it’s more expensive than your coffee addiction. Remember, a compliant organization is a happy (and cheaper) organization! ☕📈 5. The Reputation Rollercoaster Let’s not forget the reputational hit. Losing a significant contract because of non-compliance is like getting caught in your pajamas during a Zoom meeting. Awkward, embarrassing, and now you’re the talk of the office. “Did you hear about the company that couldn’t get compliant?” 😳🎤 Final Thoughts If your organization isn’t taking CMMC compliance seriously, you might as well light your money on fire and roast marshmallows over the flames! 🔥🍫 So, let’s avoid the contract chaos and get compliant! Here’s to a future filled with contracts and fewer financial nightmares! 🥳💼 #CMMC #Cybersecurity #Compliance #BusinessHumor #FinancialWisdom #LaughAndLearn

I have fun writing unique intros for every episode of Application Security Weekly. Here's what I crafted for episode 283. ---- What if #appsec wrote aviation safety scripts? Welcome to flight ASW 283. The captain has turned on the password strength sign, which means that your password must meet an annoying list of requirements as this flight is not equipped for passkeys. There are several emergency exits on this aircraft. Take a moment to locate the exit nearest you, keeping in mind that the default choice is probably insecure. If there is a loss of cabin pressure, memory safety masks will drop down. To start the flow of code, pull the mask towards you. To tighten the fit, address all the web app vulns that have nothing to do with unsafe memory. In the unlikely event of a water landing, check beneath your seat for a top 10 list of aquatic dangers. Thank you. And please use caution when opening overhead dependencies, as contents may have shifted maintainers. ---- Check out this episode at https://lnkd.in/gnTj6RYW To find more of these intros, check out https://lnkd.in/gMHi9QRk

Great article Thomas Graham, PhD, CISSP, MBA! The widespread adoption of CMMC across all departments in the Executive Branch (Agriculture, Commerce, Defense, Education, Energy, Health and Human Services, Homeland Security, Housing and Urban Development, Interior, Labor, State, Transportation, Treasury, and Veterans Affairs) cannot come soon enough. Our U.S. sectoral approach has led to redundancy, duplication, and contradiction. Too much effort is being wasted within the Executive Branch, and it's translating into business in all sectors playing compliance whack-a-mole! Go CMMC!

My interview with Irina Tsukerman at the Washington Outsider Radio Show was published last night, and I wanted to share it with all of you. We discuss my book and the real-life events that inspired the story, which are shocking by most standards. We get into how an investigation into embezzlement quickly turned into a large identity theft investigation involving health insurance brokers and American Income Life, and how that investigation brushed up against organized crime and potential nation-state activity with indications that my family was targeted due to multi-generational history with the US Army Corps of Engineers, and with all frankness, the sloppiness of my father's and the organization's security practices that left them open to vulnerabilities that affected the safety of potentially the entire city of Portland, Oregon. We also discussed the blowback I received for coming forward with such alarming information and how that endangered my safety and well-being both in general and in a particular incident best described as local yokel social engineering that resulted in me being at the wrong end of a madman with a gun. We also discuss the Russian Orthodox Church in Bend, OR, the ties between specific individuals in that church and the Oregon health insurance broker community, and connections that indicate they are profiting from the theft of Social Security numbers and banking information via identity theft and money laundering. We also touch on how the attorney I had appears to have been blackmailed, possibly due to his firm showing up in the Panama Papers, which I didn't realize then but discovered later when I took the investigation into my own hands. It's tough to summarize, and since this was the first time anyone sat me down to discuss this with probing questions, it's quite revealing and likely a story you all haven't heard in this way before. With that in mind, I hope you listen to this and all enjoy it. Be safe out there, my friends. #Fraud #InsiderThreats #IdentityTheft #PPPfraud #insurance #healthinsurance #Oregon #Obamacare #LifeInsurance #Espionage #Corruption #ACA
