MALVERN, Pa., July 15, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. (NYSE: VSH) today announced that the company has successfully achieved Level 2 Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC), confirming that its cybersecurity practices, processes, and governance meet the requirements for handling Federal Contract Information (FCI) and Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) within Department of Defense (DoD) programs.

The CMMC program was established by the DoD to verify that contractors and suppliers adequately protect sensitive defense information.

The certification enables the company to support programs requiring CUI exchange, participate in solicitations and contracts with CMMC requirements, and maintain compliant information workflows.

CMMC Level 2 certification validates Vishay’s implementation of cybersecurity controls and documented processes for safeguarding sensitive information throughout the product lifecycle. These measures include controlled access environments, encrypted communications, secure file transfer processes, ongoing monitoring, employee training, and continuous improvement initiatives.

“Achieving CMMC Level 2 certification reflects Vishay’s long standing commitment to protecting sensitive customer and program information,” said Michael O’Sullivan, executive vice president, chief administrative and legal officer, legal services, at Vishay. “Having achieved CMMC Level 2 certification, well ahead of full enforcement requirements, we’re well positioned to support defense and aerospace customers, help ensure continuity of supply for critical applications, and reduce program risk.”
