Course description

As cyber threats grow and compliance demands tighten, the Department of Defense requires contractors to demonstrate strong cybersecurity practices. The Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) 2.0 ensures that sensitive government data is protected across the Defense Industrial Base (DIB).

This course equips IT professionals with the foundational knowledge and practical skills to earn the Certified CMMC Professional (CCP) certification and support secure acquisition practices. You’ll explore threat identification, scope boundaries, compliance requirements, and how to evaluate systems for regulatory alignment.

Ideal for professionals in or entering cybersecurity roles, this 12-week asynchronous course blends exam preparation with hands-on application. Whether you’re preparing to assess organizations or strengthen internal cybersecurity operations, this course helps you move forward with clarity and confidence.

RIT Certified does not administer the CCP exam. Learn more at cyberab.org.
