Mike Balazsy reposted thisMike Balazsy reposted this𝗔𝗜 𝗔𝗱𝗼𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗶𝗻 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗶𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗣𝗮𝗿𝗮𝗱𝗼𝘅: Why is AI in CMMC met with resistance exactly when we need it the most? A fascinating new Harvard Business Review article: https://lnkd.in/ezNYFC2R reveals a hard truth: companies are pouring money into AI, but initiatives are stalling because of human fear, not bad tech. Employees are quietly battling profound anxiety about their relevance, professional identity, and control. I thought of the #DIB and specifically, the painful, slow-moving world of #CMMC. Here, we aren't just dealing with the fear of AI. We are dealing with a massive Fear Multiplier. 𝗟𝗲𝘁’𝘀 𝗯𝗲 𝗵𝗼𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘁: CMMC adoption is already moving at a glacial pace. The Cyber AB townhall stats prove it and the industry are worried that the DIB will not scale. DIB companies are terrified. They fear the crushing cost of compliance, the complexity of the requirements, and the existential threat of losing their DoD contracts if they get it wrong. 𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗮𝗱𝗼𝘅: AI is the exact lifeline CMMC needs right now. We desperately need AI to automate the soul-crushing administrative work of CMMC. But instead of embracing the lifeline, the compliance industry is finding excuses. Why? because when you introduce AI into an environment already paralyzed by regulatory fear, it triggers a system overload. If we want to modernize #compliance, we have to stop trying to force-feed technology to already worried people. The HBR data proves that you cannot mandate adoption when psychological safety is missing. To get AI adopted in the CMMC space, we need to change the narrative: 1. 𝗣𝗼𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗔𝗜 𝗮𝘀 𝗮𝗻 𝗔𝘀𝘀𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝘁, 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗮𝘀 𝗮 𝗵𝘂𝗺𝗮𝗻 𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁: AI exists strictly to eliminate the manual data gathering and documentation validation that causes burnout. Human decision making without sacrificing quality and integrity. 2. 𝗘𝗻𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗲 ‘𝗦𝗲𝗰𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗯𝘆 𝗗𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻’ 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗘𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗔𝗜: Put the #customer #data ahead of everything else. Until we untangle the fear of AI from the fear of CMMC, our #defense #contractors will stay stuck in the spreadsheets, and our national supply chain will remain vulnerable.

Mike Balazsy liked thisMike Balazsy liked thisWorking in GRC across the Big 4, a top 25 firm, and now building Insight Assurance, one thing has remained consistent. Clients may differ in size, complexity, and global footprint, but the expectation doesn’t change. ✅ They want high-quality services and deliverables. ✅ They expect clear, consistent communication. ✅ And they value a strong business relationship that remains independent and objective, without feeling transactional. Integrity sits at the center of all of it. It’s not always the easiest path, and it’s not always appreciated in the moment, but in this space, it’s foundational. As we see newcomers entering the market, along with traditional firms trying to reposition into it, one thing becomes clear. What we’ve built is different. It’s not just about offering the same services. It’s about how those services are delivered, the standards behind them, and the consistency with which they scale. We’ve been intentional from day one. Around quality. Around independence. Around leveraging technology without compromising audit integrity. That combination has allowed us to create something special. Not just another firm in the market, but one that has helped shape how modern GRC audits should be delivered. That’s what has allowed us to grow and scale. It’s why organizations continue to choose Insight Assurance over larger, heavily funded firms and over smaller, price-driven providers. At the end of the day, quality, consistency, and integrity win.

Mike Balazsy liked thisMike Balazsy liked thisThe annual Washington, DC trip led by the Huntsville/Madison County Chamber delivered real impact. This year, our President, TJ Wright, represented OSS, joining nearly 200 business and community leaders from across North Alabama to advance our shared federal priorities and ensure our region’s voice is heard on the Hill. From meetings to conversations focused on defense funding, Redstone Arsenal, infrastructure, and the ongoing impact of federal budget decisions, the message was clear: what happens at this event has real consequences for our community back home. OSS is proud to be part of that conversation and to support efforts that strengthen the Huntsville region. Equally important were the connections built throughout the week. TJ had the opportunity to engage with local, state, and federal elected leaders who share a commitment to moving North Alabama forward. We stand alongside a community that continues to show up in a meaningful way and grateful to the Chamber for leading this effort year after year. #Represent #DCTrip2026 #HuntsvilleAL #RocketCity #MadisonAL #CommunityLeadership #RedstoneArsenal

875K Settlement – A Wake-Up Call for Defense Contractors Defense Contractor Georgia Tech Research Corporation reached a settlement to resolve False Claims Act violations for the alleged submission of a falsified cyber assessment and failure to implement cybersecurity requirements mandated by the Department of Defense. This should send a clear message to all DoD contractors and subcontractors, but don’t take our word for it… “Those who knowingly provide deficient cybersecurity products or services, misrepresent their cybersecurity practices or protocols, or violate obligations to monitor and report cybersecurity incidents and breaches must be held accountable. Enforcement efforts like this should serve as a reminder to industry to prioritize DoD cybersecurity compliance” warns Stacy Bostjanick, CMMC Program Leader. And from Assistant Attorney General Brett Shumate in a Sept. 30 release from DoJ, “Together with DoD and other agency partners, the Department of Justice will continue to pursue and litigate violations of cybersecurity requirements to hold contractors accountable when they violate their cybersecurity commitments.” With CMMC implementation starting November 10, the stakes have never been higher. Don't let compliance gaps put your contracts at risk. SSE is already CMMC Level 2 Certified and specializes in CMMC compliance. We help defense contractors build a customized plan for compliance.

The Defense Industry Is Taking Notice of CSRMC AFCEA International just published “Defense Industry Welcomes Initial CSRMC Policy” and it is clear the shift from RMF to CSRMC is more than overdue. The article highlights what many in the field have been saying for years: cybersecurity cannot be a paperwork exercise. It must be engineered, automated, continuous, and mission aligned. CSRMC’s early framework shows strong promise: ->A lifecycle aligned to real operational needs ->A move away from static checklists ->A push toward innovation, continuous monitoring, and adaptive controls ->A recognition that next generation cyber defense requires speed But the article also makes one thing clear. The community is still waiting for details. Funding guidance, implementation plans, and clarity on expectations were delayed during the shutdown. And without that, agencies and industry are left reading between the lines. The strategy is bold. The intent is right. The potential is significant. Is more information coming, and how soon? 🔗 Read the article: https://lnkd.in/eXzTmBAn 1 #Cybersecurity #CSRMC #DefenseTech #FederalIT #RiskManagement #ContinuousMonitoring #DoD #CyberPolicy #Innovation #SecurityModernization

Looking forward to bringing this session to the 2026 North Carolina Cybersecurity Symposium. Live Cyber Crisis Simulation – Watch Leadership Under Fire is designed to show what really happens when plans collide with pressure. This is not about tools or checklists. It is about how leaders think, communicate, and make decisions when an incident is unfolding in real time. In this live, unscripted simulation, participants step into executive roles during a fictional AI-driven cyber incident, while the audience actively influences the scenario. The value is in seeing the decision making, missteps, course corrections, and coordination challenges that emerge under stress. It gives a rare, honest view into the organizational side of incident response that most people never get to observe. The goal is simple. Build executive muscle memory. Strengthen cross-functional alignment. Improve communication when it matters most. This session is especially relevant for leaders responsible for risk, operations, technology, legal exposure, and business continuity who want to move from theory to real readiness. #NCCyber #CybersecurityLeadership #IncidentResponse #OperationalResilience #ExecutiveReadiness

Too many defense contractors are jumping the gun on CMMC assessments. Matt Bruggeman, Director of GTM Federal at A-LIGN, says simple questions like “Where does CUI flow within your organization?” are key readiness indicators. If you can’t answer that, you’re not ready for scoping—let alone certification.

🎊 We’re proud to share that Matthew Perrotti, Senior Ethical Hacking Consultant at Zelvin Security, will be speaking at CodeStock 2026, taking place right here in Knoxville, TN on April 9–10th. 🎊 As an active participant in the Knoxville Technology Council, we’re always excited to see major technology events like #CodeStock hosted. Events like this play a huge role in strengthening Knoxville’s growing tech ecosystem and creating space for meaningful conversations across development, security, and innovation. Matt’s session, “Software Security: Don’t Just Shift Left. Start Left Before the Code Writes Itself,” takes a practical look at how teams can introduce security considerations earlier in the Software Development Lifecycle, before small issues grow into larger challenges. Drawing from his background as both a senior software developer and ethical hacker, Matt will explore how development teams are adapting their SDLC as AI becomes more embedded in day-to-day workflows, while still managing risk, rework, and compliance expectations. This perspective closely aligns with how we approach Secure Software Development Lifecycle (SSDLC) engagements at Zelvin Security. We work with organizations to help them make informed security decisions within their development process, prioritize meaningful risk, and support development teams as they balance speed, quality, and security. If you’re attending CodeStock, we encourage you to join Matt’s session and be part of the broader conversation happening within Knoxville’s tech community. 🔗 Learn more about CodeStock and the session lineup: https://lnkd.in/ecvuEsdN ✅ Interested in reviewing your teams SSDLC?
