SUMMARY:Cybersecurity (Virtual) Bootcamp: CMMC Implementation for Business Executives
DESCRIPTION:All Defense Industry Base (DIB) supply chain organizations are under increasing pressure to implement DoD Cybersecurity Standards. The CMMC is now progressing at a rapidly growing pace and their push to create a national cyber hygiene standard for all vendors is already ahead of schedule. With the CMMC implementation starting timeframe for June 2020\, this is a perfect opportunity for business leaders to understand the problem businesses face\, how to implement these standards and still run normal operations\, and where to go for assistance and guidance support.  \nIn this one-hour virtual teleconference (VTC) we will cover the methodologies to develop a road map for CMMC and NIST SP 800-171 conformance. This is a condensed version of our 4-hour bootcamp and is a not-to-miss event! \nBe sure to engage with your NJ Manufacturing Extension Program representative on this topic so we can set up a remote VTC follow-up cybersecurity assessment and customized remediation program.

SUMMARY:Food Recall and Withdrawals (Virtual) (June 2020)
DESCRIPTION:“A food recall is either a food manufacturer or suppliers’ voluntary response to a mislabeling\, or potential hazard by removing a product from the marketplace or it is mandated by the FDA in response to a food safety issue determined. The most common reasons for food recalls are allergen mislabeling and the presence of pathogens. Other reasons behind food recalls include incorrect packaging\, wrong food labels and physical contamination. \nThe importance of having a food recall plan is to ensure quick and efficient removal of affected products from the market plane and to allow the identification of key areas of needed improvement to prevent future hazards. Recall and withdrawal procedures are required for food manufacturers under the final FDA Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) rule for “Preventative Controls for Human Foods for hazards requiring control.”
