The "Secure the DIB: CUI Hotline" webinar features two hours of targeted expert sessions designed to resolve specific pain points identified through industry polling. The agenda covers critical operational questions, including how to properly scope a CMMC environment, the practical differences between MSPs and MSSPs, and how to structure a realistic budget for compliance efforts. A key segment at 11:50 a.m. CDT will feature CEO Scott Edwards providing a briefing on emerging security mandates and common pitfalls that lead to failed compliance starts.

Jacob Horne, Chief Cybersecurity Evangelist at Summit 7, noted that the curriculum was built directly from research into the primary concerns of defense contractors. By focusing on high-frequency questions rather than generalized overviews, the firm aims to provide actionable guidance for companies working within the defense supply chain. As a Microsoft partner specializing in NIST 800-171 and DFARS 7012, Summit 7 continues its strategy of using educational outreach to solidify its position among critical defense contractors.
