Kloud9IT announces ISSO Dickon Newman’s panel appearance at CUI-Con 2026 in Orlando, underscoring the company’s commitment to CUI protection and compliance readiness.
-- Kloud9IT is pleased to announce that Dickon Newman, the company’s Information Systems Security Officer (ISSO), served as a panelist at CUI-Con 2026, a national event focused on practical guidance for organizations seeking compliance with Department of Defense cybersecurity requirements related to Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI). The conference took place in Orlando, Florida, February 11–13, with Newman participating in a panel discussion on February 12.
At its core, CUI-Con convenes security and compliance stakeholders to address how contractors can strengthen safeguards for CUI and prepare for third-party assessments tied to frameworks such as NIST SP 800-171 and the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) program. Kloud9IT noted that the event aligns closely with its work supporting clients in regulated industries that require measurable cybersecurity controls, defensible documentation, and operational readiness.
Newman joined fellow cybersecurity professionals to discuss how organizations can translate compliance requirements into actionable security improvements, including defining scope, building sustainable governance processes, and creating a security-first culture that extends beyond audit preparation. Kloud9IT said the discussion emphasized the importance of aligning policy, technical controls, and day-to-day practices, particularly for organizations navigating the operational realities of cloud environments and modern threat conditions.
“CUI-Con brings practical conversations to the forefront; how organizations can move from requirements on paper to controls that hold up in the real world,” says Trent Milliron, CEO of Kloud9IT. “Dickon’s participation reflects our commitment to helping regulated organizations make informed decisions and strengthen their cybersecurity posture with clarity and discipline.”
Kloud9IT provides services centered on cybersecurity, compliance, cloud services, and business communications, including VoIP and IP phone solutions. The company supports organizations that need structured approaches to security and governance, especially where compliance frameworks influence business operations, vendor relationships, and contracting requirements. Kloud9IT noted that industry forums such as CUI-Con provide a valuable venue for sharing lessons learned, discussing common implementation challenges, and reinforcing best practices that can improve long-term security outcomes.
