DIB CyberDome™
CMMC Phase 2 Acceleration Webinar
How Celerium Helps Win the Race to November 2026
We are in a race to complete CMMC Level 2 Phase 2 certification before the November 2026 deadline. For most, the bottleneck isn't understanding what CMMC requires — it's getting security controls deployed, generating the evidence C3PAOs expect, and documenting it all in time.
Our upcoming webinar shows how Celerium's Cyber Interceptor™ accelerates CMMC Phase 2 compliance: deploying in nearly 60 minutes (or less) per firewall, automatically generating evidence packs for complex and time-consuming controls, and delivering continuous boundary protection with no hardware, no appliances, and no deep packet inspection.
Webinar Overview
Accelerating CMMC Phase 2 Compliance with Cyber Interceptor™ is a practical, 60-minute session designed for both Defense Contractors and the consultants supporting them as they navigate the path to Phase 2 certification. The session will feature industry experts James Goepel, Executive VP, President & General Counsel at Peak InfoSec, and Ali Pabrai, CEO of ECFirst, alongside Celerium’s Chief Strategy Officer and CISO, Vince Crisler.
We’ll walk through:
- Why most organizations struggle with the same two controls in Phase 2 preparation — and how to get past them
- Specific guidance for addressing two of CMMC’s most complex and time-consuming controls:
- SI.L2-3.14.3 — Security Alerts & Advisories: Monitor system security alerts and advisories and take action in response
- SC.L2-3.13.1 — Boundary Protection: Monitor, control, and protect organizational communications at external and key internal boundaries
- How Celerium’s foundational technology (DCSE3) — originally developed by the DoD Cyber Crime Center to support defense contractors — has been commercially extended and deployed across the Defense Industrial Base
- How Celerium's Cyber Interceptor™ achieves nearly 60-minute deployment per firewall, with no hardware, no appliances, and no intrusive deep packet inspection
- How Cyber Interceptor supports hybrid cloud and multi-vendor firewall environments across on-prem, cloud, and legacy systems
- How automatic evidence generation continuously produces the documentation C3PAOs actually expect during assessments
- Expert insights from Peak InfoSec and ECFirst on accelerating readiness, avoiding common compliance bottlenecks, and improving assessment preparedness
- Live Q&A with panelists and attendees covering real-world CMMC implementation and compliance challenges
You'll leave the session with specific, implementable guidance —
not a generic compliance overview.

If your organization handles CUI on DoD contracts, or if you help clients prepare for CMMC certification ahead of the November 2026 deadline, this session will provide practical, implementable guidance — not a generic compliance overview.
What You'll Get
ach session includes:
- 10 minutes of Celerium introduction and platform overview
- 25 minutes of practical panel discussion led by Celerium, Peak InfoSec, and ECFirst experts
- Live Q&A with real questions from contractors, consultants, and compliance professionals
- Take-home resources, including our short- and mid-term CMMC acceleration action plan
- On-demand access to the webinar recording if you can’t attend live
Why Celerium Is Leading These Conversations
CMMC Phase 2 is the most significant cybersecurity compliance shift the defense industrial base has faced in a decade — and for most contractors, the deadline is closer than the work is ready.
Celerium built Cyber Interceptor™ specifically to accelerate CMMC compliance: turning regulatory requirements into practical daily defense with rapid deployment, continuous monitoring, and automated evidence generation. The platform runs across hybrid cloud and multi-vendor firewall environments and supports the heterogeneous infrastructure most DIB contractors actually operate.
Cyber Interceptor is part of Celerium's recently announced DIB CyberDome™ initiative — a broader effort to extend from individual-contractor defense to community-based threat detection across the defense industrial base.
Celerium is a Strategic Visionary Partner of NDIA and a Sustaining Sponsor of AFCEA.
Join us for our upcoming webinar on April 20, 2026

Webinar Details:
Small and mid-sized Defense Industrial Base (DIB) contractors are under constant cyber attack—often without the resources, staff, or budget to deploy enterprise-grade defenses. With over 80,000 contractors handling sensitive data like CUI, the need for scalable, adaptive protection has never been greater.
Join us for an exclusive webinar introducing the DIB CyberDome, an innovative solution engineered to deliver advanced cyber defense and CMMC-aligned protection to SMB defense contractors. Learn how adaptive, automated threat blocking and collaborative intelligence can level the playing field against nation-state adversaries.
Key Discussion Topics:
-
- The current cyber threat landscape facing DIB organizations
- Why SMB contractors are disproportionately targeted—and vulnerable
- Overview of DoD initiatives (DC3, DIB CS, DCISE) and their role in cyber defense
- How the DIB CyberDome delivers enterprise-grade protection without enterprise cost
- Adaptive Optimization Engine: real-time threat adaptation across hybrid environments
- Automated threat blocking and continuous protection tuning
- Supporting CMMC & NIST 800-171 compliance
- Practical implementation insights for contractors, MSPs, and consultants
- Real-world attack data and defense outcomes
