INE Highlights CMMC-Aligned Training for Government Contractors

INE’s comprehensive cybersecurity, networking, and cloud training helps government contractors and suppliers strengthen cybersecurity and meet CMMC 2.0 compliance requirements.

CARY, N.C., November 11, 2025 – INE Security, a global leader in cybersecurity training and certification, announced that its extensive training library continues to support organizations as they adapt to the recent rollout of the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) 2.0. The CMMC rollout 2025, which took effect on November 10, 2025, establishes new requirements for cybersecurity readiness among organizations doing business with the United States government.

Empowering Government Contractors Through Aligned Training

INE’s 70+ learning paths across cybersecurity, networking, and cloud provide teams with the critical knowledge and hands-on experience needed to meet CMMC certification readiness and NIST SP 800-171 training objectives. Designed to help professionals apply security best practices across technical and operational domains, INE’s courses give organizations the foundation to achieve and maintain CMMC 2.0 compliance.

“Many defense contractors are looking for clear, accessible ways to train their teams and meet these new compliance standards,” said Jamie Kahgee, VP of Product and Technology at INE Security. “INE’s content library already contains everything organizations need to align with the CMMC framework, from foundational cybersecurity principles to advanced cloud and network defense. Our goal is to help contractors strengthen their workforce and protect critical national security data.”

Training Aligned with CMMC 2.0 Objectives

The Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) framework establishes unified cybersecurity standards to protect Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) and Federal Contract Information (FCI) across all organizations working with the U.S. government. INE’s platform supports these objectives through a blend of real-world training environments and structured skill development designed to mirror the framework’s focus on continuous improvement and defense in depth.

Comprehensive Skill Coverage Across Core Domains

INE’s training library aligns with CMMC 2.0 domains by providing comprehensive coverage across key technical and operational areas. Learning paths such as those below, among others, help professionals build the skills needed to meet CMMC-aligned objectives:

• Network Security and Access Control: Learning paths like Cisco Cybersecurity Associate (CCNA Security) strengthen knowledge in secure network architecture, monitoring, and access control management.

• Incident Response and Threat Detection: Learning paths such as Certified Incident Responder (eCIR) develop capabilities in identifying, responding to, and documenting cybersecurity events.

• Cloud Security and Infrastructure Hardening: Learning paths including Azure Security Engineer Associate help teams secure cloud workloads and implement compliant configurations across multi-cloud environments.

Together, these and other INE learning paths reinforce the principles emphasized within CMMC 2.0 compliance, including risk management, monitoring, data protection, and continuous improvement.

Supporting Workforce Development and Compliance Readiness

“The implementation of CMMC 2.0 compliance has raised the bar for cybersecurity expectations across the defense sector,” said Lindsey Rinehart, Chief Executive Officer of INE. “Our mission is to make expert-level training accessible to every organization, regardless of size or budget. By leveraging INE’s platform, contractors can prepare for CMMC certification while improving their overall security resilience.”

INE’s platform is trusted by global enterprises and government contractors to strengthen their cybersecurity workforce. The curriculum is designed to meet the diverse needs of professionals across the federal supply chain, from system administrators and security engineers to compliance officers and IT leaders. Each course integrates theory with practical application, preparing learners not only for certification but also for the real-world challenges of securing sensitive data and infrastructure.

Accessible Resources for Continuous Compliance

With the enforcement phase of CMMC 2.0 now underway, organizations are seeking efficient ways to upskill employees, document compliance, and reduce audit risk. INE’s CMMC-aligned training provides a scalable solution that allows contractors and suppliers to train teams at all levels, ensuring readiness across technical and operational roles.
