CyberSheath Launches Revamped CMMC CON Ninja Training Program as Compliance Enforcement Intensifies

RESTON, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Defense contractors face mounting pressure to meet CMMC 2.0 requirements. The Department of Justice’s intervention in False Claims Act cases involving NIST 800-171 violations shows that inadequate protection of controlled unclassified information now carries financial and legal risks beyond just losing contracts.

Against this backdrop, CyberSheath has redesigned its popular ninja training program to focus on practical compliance execution. Registration is open now through July 18, 2025. The free program now features three intensive courses built around the company’s proven AIM methodology: Assess, Implement, and Manage. Those who complete all three courses will earn recognition on the wall of fame at CMMC CON 2025 on Sept. 25, 2025, the closing of the two-day event.

“Contractors who thought they could delay CMMC preparation are now seeing real enforcement consequences, and this program helps them overcome that obstacle,” said Eric Noonan, CEO of CyberSheath. “Our revamped training gives organizations the tactical knowledge they need to build genuine, audit-ready compliance programs.”

Led by Casey Lang, CyberSheath’s Vice President of Compliance, the streamlined program eliminates theoretical discussions in favor of hands-on guidance. Participants work through the three phases that determine compliance success:

  • White Belt – Assess: Understanding your current security posture and mapping compliance gaps
  • Blue Belt – Implement: Building and deploying effective security controls
  • Black Belt – Manage: Maintaining ongoing compliance and assessment readiness

Courses launch the week of July 21, with participants earning belts through completion of practical assessments.

The training program complements CMMC CON 2025, which features the theme “Compliance Blueprint – Plan. Execute. Certify.” Register for the two-day virtual conference and the ninja training program.
