We want to take this opportunity to inform you that we empower our employees and contractors to obtain COMPTIA certifications such as the Security+. These certifications are not just limited to the workplace environment but can also be applied in everyday life.

The COMPTIA Principles cover a wide range of topics, including security threats, risk management, and incident response. By obtaining these certifications, our employees and contractors are not only enhancing their professional skills but also gaining valuable knowledge that can be used in their personal lives.

We believe that investing in our employees' and contractors' professional development is not only beneficial for the company but also for the individuals themselves. We are committed to providing our employees with the resources and support they need to succeed in their careers.


​Our work principles should not be limited to our professional lives. They should also be a part of our daily lives. When we apply these principles to our personal interactions, we create a more harmonious and productive environment for ourselves and those around us.

Let's make a conscious effort to implement these principles in all aspects of our lives.

Confidentiality, Integrity, and Availability (CIA) are three important principles of information security that can be applied to everyday life, not just while at work. Let's explore each principle and how it can be used in our daily lives.

• Confidentiality-  ensures that only authorized individuals have access to information. This means keeping personal information private, such as your social security number or credit card details. It also means being careful about what you share on social media and who you give your personal information.
  
• Integrity - ensures that information is accurate and complete. In everyday life, this means being honest and truthful in your communications and not spreading rumors or misinformation. It also means being careful about the sources of information you trust and verifying information before you share it with others.
  
• Availability—ensures that information is accessible when needed. In everyday life, this means having backups of important files and keeping your devices and software up to date. It also means being aware of potential threats to your information, such as malware and phishing attacks, and taking steps to protect yourself.

By applying the principles of CIA to your everyday life, you can help to protect your personal information and keep it safe.

Malicious cyber activity cost the U.S economy between 50-100 billion dollars annually. Impacts can be very substantial when they affect the National Security mission. Malicious actors specifically target the Defense Industrial Base (DIB) (consisting of over 300,000 companies and vendors) as they support the warfighter mission.
The Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC), is designed to provide the DOD a verification mechanism designed to ensure that cybersecurity controls and processes adequately to protect Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) that resides on the Defense Industrial Base (DIB) networks. The DoD expects to include requirements related to CMMC in Requests for Information (RFIs) or Source Sought notices by the summer of 2020. By the Fall of 2020, DoD expects to include specific language in all Requests for Proposals (RFPs). Fortunately, EvereTech is prepared to work with the U.S Department of Defense (DoD) to increase the cybersecurity posture within the multi-tier supply chain including the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC). We employ the necessary policies and standards to protect the Federal Contract Information (FCI) and Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI).
