During his remarks, Sherman gave an update on the DOD’s Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification program, shared his thoughts on the importance of software modernization and spoke on the importance of speed in thwarting the nation’s pacing challenges.
“Moving from a hardware defined enterprise to a software defined enterprise is going to be critical in our ability to put the PRC back on their heels,” he shared to the in-person audience. “Not to have legacy types of architectures, but adaptable software defined architectures that we can update, be more cyber secure and move to DevSecOps at the speed of mission.”
