AI-Powered Compliance: What CMMC Means for Today's Government Contractors.

As federal agencies continue to raise the bar on cybersecurity, the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) has become a critical requirement for government contractors. At the same time, Artificial Intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming how organizations manage compliance, risk, and security.

This session, facilitated by guest speaker Eric Crusius, Partner & Government Contracts Practice Chair, will explore the intersection of CMMC and AI, examining how contractors can harness emerging technologies to streamline compliance efforts, strengthen cybersecurity postures, and remain competitive in today’s government contracting environment.

Attendees will gain insights into:

• The latest CMMC 2.0 requirements and their impact on contractors across the Defense Industrial Base (DIB).

• How AI-driven tools can support continuous monitoring, threat detection, and compliance documentation.

• Practical strategies for integrating AI into compliance workflows without increasing risk or complexity.

• The future of government contracting in a landscape where cybersecurity, compliance, and technology converge.

Whether you are a small business seeking your first CMMC certification or a large contractor managing complex supply chains, this discussion will provide actionable guidance on preparing for the future of compliance in the age of AI.
