The Premier Event for DIB Cybersecurity Compliance and Certification

The Defense Industrial Base (DIB) is facing an unprecedented convergence of compliance frameworks, certification mandates, and supply chain requirements that touch every corner of the information and communications technology (ICT) ecosystem. From the cryptographic modules that secure our networks to the cloud platforms hosting sensitive workloads, the pressure to demonstrate compliance with rigorous federal and Department of Defense (DoD) standards is only intensifying.

To help industry professionals chart a clear path forward, Cnxtd Event Media presents the DIB Cyber Certification Series, a two-day event designed to equip product developers, integrators, cloud service providers, and government stakeholders with practical insights into the certifications, listings, and compliance mandates that define today’s defense market. Hosted at The Hotel UMD, College Park, Maryland, May 4–5, 2026, the event brings together four interconnected modules. Each module zeroes in on a critical piece of the DIB compliance puzzle, creating a comprehensive program that delivers both strategic context and operational know-how.

Why This Event Matters

The DIB is not only one of the most regulated markets in the world—it is also one of the most consequential. Every defense system, communication link, and mission-critical application depends on products and services that are trusted, certified, and authorized.

  • Product Developers must navigate multiple certification regimes: DoDIN APL, NIAP/Common Criteria, FIPS 140-3, and CSfC component listings.

  • Suppliers and Integrators must align with contract clauses such as DFARS 252.204-7012 and prepare for the full rollout of CMMC requirements.

  • Cloud Service Providers (CSPs) must not only meet the FedRAMP baseline but also contend with DoD’s unique overlays, including the CC SRG and SCCA/CAP.

  • Government Agencies and Mission Owners must ensure that every component, service, and system they procure meets the highest levels of cybersecurity assurance.

The DIB Cyber Certification Series provides a unified forum for these communities to learn, connect, and prepare for the compliance demands shaping national defense.

This event brings together the entire industry value chain: Product Vendors, Component Suppliers, Commercial Testing Laboratories, Trusted Integrators, Standards Organizations, and Government Agencies
