It is no longer a question of if your business will be attacked by cyber criminals, but when \u2013 placing all of your contracts and clients at risk. Data shows that cybersecurity threats are the #1 concern for businesses in 2024. In addition, manufacturing is considered a critical infrastructure and key to our nation\u0027s continued security. Learn more about safely implementing new technology, put policies and procedures in place to protect your data and equipment, and increase your resiliency against cyber-attacks. In addition to ensuring basic cyber practices, manufacturers seeking defense contracts must also satisfy DoD cyber requirements for CMMC 2.0. Cybersecurity is no longer simply beneficial but a prerequisite for continuing to do business.\u202f\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\n\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EBio:\u003C\/strong\u003E\u0026nbsp;Cassia Baker\u202f, Technology Project Manager - Cybersecurity, Georgia Tech.\u202f\u202fBaker works with the Georgia Manufacturing Extension Partnership (GaMEP) at Georgia Tech.
