MISI and the Purdue University Manufacturing Extension Partnership Execute a CMMC Compliance Agreement

COLUMBIA, Md., Feb. 18, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- MISI and the Purdue University Manufacturing Extension Partnership (Purdue MEP) executed an agreement to offer MISI's sensor grid and AWS GovCloud hosted CMMC continuous cybersecurity compliance and threat monitoring solutions to Purdue MEP customers. 

MISI and the Purdue MEP collaborated for several months to test MISI sensors and its AWS GovCloud hosted Jensie continuous cyber compliance threat monitoring solution with several Purdue MEP defense industrial base (DIB) manufacturing suppliers.

As part of the agreement MISI will provide Purdue MEP customers as negotiated, subscriptions that include:

• Plug and Play Cybersecurity sensors that map networks, continuously scans for cyber vulnerabilities and that can act as a log forwarder to the MISI MSOC (security operations center). Sensors can assess IT, IoT and OT/control systems vulnerabilities.

• CMMC-AB Reistered Practitioner (RP) and experienced NIST compliance virtual coaching. MISI is a CMMC-AB Registered provider Organization (RPO).
• Since the launch of the service late last year, MISI has signed up over 50 defense industrial base suppliers across the US as well as working relationships with other Manufacturing Extension Partnership organizations. MISI also is supporting DoD Mentor Protégé companies with similar services and solutions.
