Cybersecurity Compliance for Government Contractors is a new course of Federal Publications Seminars, driven by the demand of our customers to keep up with the ever-changing landscape of newly-published rules and regulations and increased enforcement facing those who do business with the government.  

This course starts with the NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) Risk Management Framework for Artificial Intelligence and its potential for installation in your organization.
