Contractors’ CMMC Confidence Rises as Ability to Prove It Falls Behind

Two industry surveys from Kiteworks and CyberSheath document trends in how defense contractors view their cybersecurity maturity and compliance readiness. The findings reveal a divergence between contractors' confidence levels and their actual demonstrated capability to meet requirements.
