Welcome to CMMC MetaCon: 2023 | 11/14/2023

Where the Metaverse Intersects Defense Supply Chain Security

Protecting the Defense Industrial Base across the global defense supply chain has never been more critical. In today’s unstable geopolitical climate, well-funded cyber attackers are committed to exploiting vulnerable contractor assets and contractor information systems to steal valuable sensitive information.

CMMC MetaCon is a 100% metaverse-based conference held in the CMMC Metaverse venue that brings together thought leaders and organizations and individuals across the global defense sector ecosystem to share and learn. The ultimate goals of the conference are increased awareness, greater protection, and enhanced resiliency against advanced persistent threats.
