Client Alert | less than 1 min read | 02.08.12
President Obama in his State of the Union address warns of “the growing dangers of cyber-threats,” Congress presses ahead with cybersecurity legislation targeted for votes this month, and the SEC’s recent guidance identifies cyber threats as “material” risks for publicly traded companies. At Crowell & Moring’s DC office on February 15, 2012, C&M’s David Bodenheimer will serve as moderator for the ABA’s “Cyber on the Hill” discussion featuring Rep. Jim Langevin (R.I.), Co-Founder and Co-Chairman of the House Cybersecurity Caucus, who will discuss the cyber threat’s effect on national and economic security, the path toward protecting national assets and promoting cybersecurity, and the role lawyers may play in this process.

CMMC Phase II Suspension Requires Reconsideration of Such Requirements in Solicitations
As discussed in more detail here, the U.S. Department of War (DoW) recently issued a memorandum (Memo 26-P-1023, dated July 13, 2026) directing the immediate suspension of Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) Phase II requirements. Significantly, the memo directs that “all pending and future CMMC implementation milestones across DoW solicitations and contracts are held in abeyance until further notice.” Moreover, the DoW issued a memorandum on implementing these requirements (available here), directing agencies to issue amendments removing CMMC Level 2 and 3 requirements from active solicitations “as soon as practicable.” Contractors should monitor the government’s compliance with this requirement and should be prepared, if needed, to file a bid protest to protect their rights.
