Description
Small businesses in government contracting are prime targets for cyberattacks—not because they’re weak, but because they’re connected and lean. From phishing and vishing attempts to invoice scams, deepfakes, and spoofed subcontractor portals, attackers exploit trust and access points across the contracting lifecycle.
In this webinar, you’ll learn how cybersecurity red teaming helps identify hidden vulnerabilities before adversaries do. We’ll explore real-world government contracting scenarios and highlight how red teaming can strengthen your cyber hygiene, protect your reputation, and support readiness for government cybersecurity requirements such as CMMC and NIST, along with evolving agency expectations.
Whether you’re a prime, a sub, or just entering the contracting space, this session will help you understand your exposure, apply red teaming concepts, and build trust with government buyers and officials.
Target Audience: This webinar is ideal for small business owners, prime contractors, subcontractors, and anyone entering the government contracting arena who wants to bolster their cybersecurity measures and ensure compliance with government standards.

Pamela Isom is exceptionally knowledgeable in cybersecurity and CMMC readiness. Her ability to explain complex topics like NIST 800-171 control families, red team testing, and compliance strategies in a clear, practical way made the entire session valuable and easy to understand.
She doesn’t just teach the technical side; she connects it to real business impact and readiness. The examples she shared from government contracting and red team scenarios helped us see how to apply these principles directly to our own operations.
If you’re preparing for CMMC certification or looking to strengthen your cybersecurity posture, I highly recommend learning from Pamela. She makes a challenging subject approachable and actionable.
