WAUKEE, IA, UNITED STATES, April 18, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- ecfirst is proud to announce that its Chief Executive, Ali Pabrai, will be speaking at CMMC Day 2025 in College Park, Maryland. A recognized cybersecurity leader and CMMC authority, Mr. Pabrai will deliver two expert presentations to help organizations navigate the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) landscape with a focus on both key areas, readiness and assessment.

At a time when CMMC compliance is becoming mandatory for contractors across the Defense Industrial Base (DIB), Mr. Pabrai’s sessions will offer timely, actionable insights for both types of organizations, those seeking certification as well as those advising them.

Presentation Overviews

Artifacts + Assessment Objectives = Secrets for a CMMC Assessment
This session will explore how Organizations Seeking Certification (OSCs) can strengthen their CMMC strategy by focusing on the relationship between assessment objectives and evidence artifacts. Mr. Pabrai will review how these elements align with a strong System Security Plan (SSP) and identify critical milestones for a successful assessment.

Decoding CMMC Assessment Readiness
This presentation will provide a step-by-step look at what it takes to plan and prepare for a CMMC assessment. Topics will include ecosystem roles, scoping, CUI flow, asset classification, and documentation practices that enable smooth and successful evaluations.

Mr. Pabrai brings decades of global AI cyber defense expertise to the stage, with deep experience supporting U.S. federal agencies, Fortune-ranked companies, and critical infrastructure entities. He leads ecfirst, an organization deeply embedded in the CMMC ecosystem as an Authorized C3PAO, Registered Practitioner Organization (RPO), Approved Training Provider (ATP), and Approved Publishing Partner (APP)—demonstrating a 360-degree perspective on CMMC implementation, education, and certification.
