    Information in the DoD network is shared digitally across the contractor and subcontractor supply chain, offering an irresistible target for nation-states and cyber criminals.
    Protecting the DoD supply chain
    The CMMC was developed to step up measures for protecting the DoD supply chain. Its objectives are to standardize cybersecurity controls and ensure that effective measures are in place to protect CUI (Controlled Unclassified Information) on contractor systems and networks.
    All companies doing business with the DoD, including subcontractors, must become certified by an independent third-party commercial certification organization.
    Your essential guide to understanding the CMMC
    To help you get to grips with the CMMC, this essential pocket guide covers:
    
    - What the CMMC is and why it has been introduced
    - Who needs to comply with the CMMC
    - The implementation process

    We can thrive in the changing climate.Production & yield, pest & disease pressure, food quality, and population are all aspects of food security being affected by climate disruption. According to current projections, the global population will be thirty percent higher in 2050. Because of this and anticipated dietary changes, growers will need to produce fifty percent more food annually by 2050, without expanding the land base. What can you do? Including interviews with some of the world’s top researchers in the field of agriculture, A Farmer’s Guide to Climate Disruption provides insight into how you can thrive in the changing climate by using produce growing methods that stem the tide of climate change while regenerating your land.

    Decision intelligence (DI) has been widely named as a top technology trend for several years, and Gartner reports that more than a third of large organizations are adopting it. Some even say that DI is the next step in the evolution of AI. Many software vendors offer DI solutions today, as they help organizations implement their evidence-based or data-driven decision strategies. 
     
     
     
    But until now, there has been little practical guidance for organizations to formalize decision making and integrate their decisions with data. 
     
     
     
    With this book, authors L. Y. Pratt and N. E. Malcolm fill this gap. They present a step-by-step method for integrating technology into decisions that bridge from actions to desired outcomes, with a focus on systems that act in an advisory, human-in-the-loop capacity to decision makers. 
     
     
     
    This handbook addresses three widespread data-driven decision-making problems: 
     
     
     
    ● How can decision makers use data and technology to ensure desired outcomes? 
     
     
     
    ● How can technology teams communicate effectively with decision makers to maximize the return on their data and technology investments? 
     
     
     
    ● How can organizational decision makers assess and improve their decisions over time?
