The Knowledge Group Has Scheduled a Live Webcast on DoD's Cybersecurity Initiative to Safeguard the Defense Industrial Base
The Knowledge Group Has Scheduled a Live Webcast on DoD’s Cybersecurity Initiative to Safeguard the Defense Industrial Base: 2016 Final Rule and DoD Directive LIVE Webcast.
- New York, NY (1888PressRelease) November 30, 2017 - The Knowledge Group/The Knowledge Congress Live Webcast Series, the leading producer of regulatory focused webcasts, announced today that it has scheduled a live webcast entitled: “DoD’s Cybersecurity Initiative to Safeguard the Defense Industrial Base: 2016 Final Rule and DoD Directive LIVE Webcast.” This event is scheduled for November 29, 2016 from 12:00pm to 1:00pm (ET).
Event Synopsis:
Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) Clause 252.204-7012, Safeguarding Covered Defense Information and Cyber Incident Reporting, requires contractors to provide “adequate security” for covered defense information that is processed, stored, or transmitted on the contractor’s internal information system or network. To do so, the clause requires contractors to, at a minimum, implement National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Special Publication (SP) 800-171, “Protecting Controlled Unclassified Information in Nonfederal Information Systems and Organizations,” not later than December 31, 2017. The clause also requires defense contractors to report to DoD cyber incidents that affect covered defense information or the contractor’s ability to provide operationally critical support; to submit malicious software associated with the cyber incident; to facilitate damage assessment processes; and to flow down the clause to subcontractors when the contract performance will involve covered defense information or operationally critical support.
For more information about the DFARS Clause 252.204-7012, including all related regulations, policy, frequently asked questions, and resources, review the Cybersecurity tab at http://dodprocurementtoolbox.com/
A complementary effort is DoD’s Defense Industrial Base (DIB) Cybersecurity (CS) Program. The DIB CS Program is a voluntary public-private cybersecurity information sharing program in which DoD and DIB CS participants share cyber threat information, identify vulnerabilities, and improve network defense. Both of these activities are part of DoD’s multipronged approach (mandatory and voluntary) to safeguarding DoD information on unclassified DIB networks. For more information about the DIB CS Program, see dibnet.dod.mil
