May 2024 Midwest Cyber Security Alliance Meeting | Integrating Trending AI and CMMC Compliance Into Vendor Management

In today’s rapidly evolving digital landscape, effective vendor management is paramount for ensuring the security and integrity of organizational operations. By harnessing AI-driven tools for continuous monitoring and anomaly detection, organizations can bolster their compliance efforts, identify deviations from established security protocols, and mitigate potential risks in real-time.

Join us on Wednesday, May 22, 2024, at the next Midwest Cyber Security Alliance meeting, where sponsor Sikich LLP, along with Foley attorneys Chanley Howell and Leighton Allen, will delve into the integration of two critical components — AI due diligence and Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) compliance — to fortify vendor management practices. Attendees will learn about strategic methodologies to assess and mitigate AI-related risk while ensuring that third-party vendors meet rigorous cybersecurity standards.

Discussion topics will focus on:

• A robust AI due diligence process that evaluates ethical considerations, security measures, and the technological structure of AI systems
• CMMC requirements essential for comprehensive third-party risk management
• Actionable insights and best practices for organizations looking to strengthen their vendor management frameworks in the face of advanced technologies and security challenges
