Show Notes

In this episode of the Cuick 10 Podcast, Derek White, Chief Operating Officer of Cuick Trac, is joined by Derek Kernus, CEO of Aethon Security, to explore the people side of CMMC compliance. They dig into what happens when internal leadership buy-in transforms skepticism into support — and why documentation, visibility, and clarity are critical for success.

Derek also shares his experience as a CMMC assessor and highlights how flexibility in 800-171 implementation is often misunderstood. They close the episode with a look at how concerns around the False Claims Act are driving more serious attention to doing cybersecurity “the right way.”
