Caster Concepts unveils U.S. Department of Defense–approved cybersecurity

Caster Concepts Inc. (CasterConcepts.com) has successfully passed its Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) Level 1 assessment based on the U.S. Department of Defense Industrial Base Cybersecurity Assessment Center (DIBCAC) requirements, confirming the company’s adherence to approved cybersecurity practices, processes and capabilities.

This accreditation means Caster Concepts implements a high level of online practices that are designed to thwart cyber threats and protect government and industry assets.


“In today’s environment, online security is essential to a company’s success,” said Caster Concepts CEO Bill Dobbins. “Implementing the highest standards of cybersecurity ensures the future of the company and the safety of our clients and their information.”
CMMC was developed to protect Department of Defense (DoD) contractors against online threats and attacks and to protect information shared within the industry. While this certification is a must for DoD contractors, it serves as Caster Concept’s cybersecurity framework for dealing with customers, whether they work in government or in the private sector.
“The CMMC Level 1 accreditation makes our networks, both internal and external, safer,” Dobbins said. “In fact, we plan to implement all three levels of CMMC accreditation and do our part to safeguard our customers’ assets.”

Strong medicine: interview with Elizabeth Gallenagh

For players in the drug distribution business, the countdown is on. In less than two months, every business involved in the pharmaceutical supply chain must be fully compliant with the Drug Supply Chain Security Act (DSCSA)a 2013 law containing strict traceability requirements for the distribution of certain prescription drugs. Over the past decade, the DSCSA has been implemented in phases, but now the clock is running out. The law takes full effect on Nov. 27, barring any further adjustments or delays.

Among other measures, the DSCSA requires drug manufacturers to affix a unique product identifier, essentially a barcode, to every package so it can be tracked and traced during its journey through the supply chain. To thwart drug counterfeiters, the new law further requires wholesalers and drug dispensers to verify the validity of products they handle to assure they are genuine.
