🔐 CMMC Needs Clear SSO Rules: Here’s Why- Current CMMC, NIST 800-171/172, and FedRAMP lack explicit controls for Single Sign-On (SSO), creating critical security risks. The Problem ⚠️ No defined SSO boundaries ⚠️ Unrestricted third-party SSO poses risks ⚠️ Breach amplification and reduced visibility The Solution * Define SSO boundaries * Restrict SSO to vendor ecosystems * Align with Zero Trust principles The financial sector enforces strict SSO controls—shouldn’t defense systems do the same? 💬 What’s your take? Should SSO boundaries be mandatory in cybersecurity frameworks? #Cybersecurity #CMMC #NIST #DefenseIndustry #ZeroTrust #SSO #DoD #CISA #NSA
