The DoD to Contractors: Improve Your Cybersecurity Maturity or No More Contracts
Contributed by Fathom Cyber
Is your company’s cybersecurity program mature and effective? When asked this question, most executives will answer yes, but the Department of Defense (“DoD”) disagrees. According to Katie Arrington, Special Assistant to the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Cyber:
“If we were doing all the necessary security controls, we wouldn’t be getting exfiltrated to the level that we are. We need to level set because a good portion of our defense industrial base [(“DIB”)] doesn’t have robust cyber hygiene. Only 1% of DIB companies have implemented all 110 controls from the National Institute of Standards and Technology. We need to get to scale where the vast majority of DIB partners can defend themselves from nation state attacks.”
