ACA Connects Vendor Solutions Webinar presented by CCI Systems
As BEAD funding accelerates broadband deployment, cybersecurity readiness is no longer optional—it’s essential. Join us for a dynamic and interactive webinar designed to meet you where you are on your journey toward NIST CSF 2.0 compliance.
Whether you’re just getting started or already drafting policies, this session will help you understand what you’re committing to when you check that cybersecurity attestation box in your BEAD application.
We’ll also explore:
- Aligning your cybersecurity planning with your grant strategy can streamline both processes.
- What a strong cybersecurity methodology looks like—and how to integrate it into your application timeline.
- Why early analysis can unlock funding opportunities that disappear post-award. •
Expect a candid Q&A format and practical advice on how to build a cybersecurity program that satisfies both compliance and operational excellence.
This webinar is for ACA Connects Members only.
