NIST 800-171 MEP Companion Handbook: The Definitive Cybersecurity Supplement

LACK OF CONTRACTOR SECURITY HAS GOTTEN US TO THIS POINT...In May 2017, a major federal contractor left unencrypted Department of Defense files on a public Amazon server; this resulted in over 60,000 sensitive files being exposed to the US's friends and enemies alike. NIST 800-171 is the government's first and most serious move to protect sensitive data and enforce its protection on all its supporting contractors across the nation and further across the global supply chain. This book is written to supplement NIST 800-171 Manufacturing Extension Partnership (MEP) and better define what it really means for corporate America.The author has extensive federal government experience working in cybersecurity over the past decade. His books on cybersecurity have been the current foundation of a "deeper dive" into the 110 security controls of NIST 800-171. If you need help maneuvering the coming "storm" of NIST 800-171, the "MEP Companion Handbook" is a must read...and a must used to protect sensitive national and corporate data.
