"Traditional Data Security Approaches Aren't Working: Here's Why" That title isn't provocation. It's a diagnosis. Perimeter-based security wasn't built for today's environments. The gaps aren't edge cases anymore. They're structural. Our session explores all three of Gartner's 2026 priorities for security leaders: transforming governance, securing new frontiers, and normalizing AI adoption. The path through all three starts in the same place. June 2, 1:10 PM Join the session. Then come find us.

Your devices are locked. Your data probably isn't. BitLocker, MFA, SFTP. Those tools aren't wrong. They're just solving a different problem than CMMC is actually asking about. The question the assessment wants answered: if someone gets into your system, can they read the file? For most companies the answer is yes. That's the gap. We're covering exactly this on May 27th. Free. 30 minutes. Register below. 👇 https://lnkd.in/eKeGvwFD #CyberSecurity #CMMC #DataSecurity

EJ Pappas, our Field CTO, takes the stage in 30 minutes. His session: "From Outside-In to Inside-Out: Why Data-Centric Security is Necessary." If your organization is still thinking about protection as a perimeter problem, this talk will reframe everything. The threat isn't at the edge anymore. It never was. If you're at the Nashville Cybersecurity Summit today, we'd love to see you there. And come find Glennon Andrews and Mary Clayton Eggleston McGee at our booth. #Cybersecurity #DataSecurity #DataProtection #Nashville #CyberSummit #PKWARE

State-sponsored threat actors don't break through fortress walls. They go around them. Straight to the mid-size manufacturer. The 20-person subcontractor. The company handling CUI with one IT person. That's not a hypothetical. That's the threat model CMMC 2.0 was built around — because the DoD finally acknowledged what adversaries already knew. The standard doesn't scale down for company size. The assessor is the same. The consequences are the same. 300,000+ companies. One deadline. November 10, 2026. If you touch CUI under a DoD contract, you're in scope. → https://lnkd.in/d9wv9gmd #CMMC #compliance #cybersecurity #dataprotection #DoD #CUI #datasecurity #riskmanagement #supplychainsecurity #PKWARE

Your auditor doesn't care how confident you sound. They care what your logs say. Regulation has stopped asking if you're secure. It's asking you to prove it. That's a different problem. And most teams aren't built for it yet.

From the serene trails of Chillaru, H.P. to the majestic charm of Neemrana Fort, our April outings were a perfect blend of adventure, heritage, laughter, and togetherness. Whether trekking through nature or exploring timeless architecture, every moment reminded us that the best memories are created together. Grateful for the bonds, joy, and unforgettable experiences shared as one PKWARE family #PKWARE #PKWAREFamily

November 10th isn't a guideline. It's a pass/fail. CMMC Phase 2 makes third-party assessments mandatory for DoD contractors. You either clear it or you don't bid. No partial credit. No grace period. Most contractors already know they need to deal with this. Most haven't started. On May 27th at 10am CT / 11am ET, join Michael Honeycutt and Glennon Andrews for a free 30-minute webinar built for DoD contractors who want to get in front of this before the window closes. No slides. No jargon. Just the real conversation. Register below 👇 https://lnkd.in/eKeGvwFD #CMMCPhase2 #DoDContractors #DefenseContracts #ContractCompliance

Reminder 👇
One week out from the Nashville Cybersecurity Summit 2026—and one session you don’t want to miss: EJ Pappas on AI and Emerging Tech in Cybersecurity AI is reshaping everything—from detection to decision-making. But it’s also introducing new risks: • Data integrity concerns in generative systems • Faster, more scalable attack methods • Governance gaps around sensitive data usage The reality: You can’t adopt AI responsibly without knowing—and controlling—your data. PKWARE will be discussing how organizations are pairing innovation and disciplined data protection to stay ahead. If you’re attending, come see me, EJ Pappas and Glennon Andrews.

Your checklist probably looks complete. That's the trap. BitLocker, SFTP, MFA. Most contractors have all three and walk into a C3PAO assessment thinking they've got it handled. The assessor finds the holes in about 20 minutes. CMMC Level 2 requires encryption in three states: at rest, in transit, and in use. Disk encryption covers one of those, partially. When an attacker steals credentials instead of a device, which is how it actually happens, they're already authenticated. They walk straight through and get everything in plain text. Phase 2 deadline is November 10, 2026. No certification means no contract awards. Prep takes 6 to 12 months and most orgs are already behind. Run your gaps before your assessor does. https://lnkd.in/d9wv9gmd #CMMC #Cybersecurity #DataProtection #Compliance #Encryption #Infosec #RiskManagement #Contractors #PKWARE
