The Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) was established by the U.S. Department of Defense to bolster security in the Defense Industrial Base (DIB) sector by protecting sensitive unclassified data. CMMC compliance is mandatory for all organizations involved with the DoD, ensuring they meet various levels of security requirements based on their role and the sensitivity of the data they handle. Achieving CMMC certification is crucial for DIB entities to protect critical systems and demonstrate their commitment to cybersecurity.
With an emphasis on identity security, CMMC requires robust authentication measures, including Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), to safeguard sensitive data. It also mandates strict access controls, enforcing the principle of least privilege to restrict access based on necessity. Organizations are expected to continuously monitor, log, and audit user activities to proactively detect and respond to potential threats.
Silverfort enables DIB organizations to meet these requirements quickly and easily. By integrating seamlessly with existing Identity and Access Management (IAM) systems, Silverfort offers comprehensive tools such as advanced MFA, Identity Security Posture Management (ISPM), and Identity Threat Detection and Response (ITDR). Silverfort extends MFA capabilities to legacy systems and unprotected resources, implements strong access controls, and continuously monitors access requests to detect and prevent unauthorized access in real time.
