ACC NCR: Cybersecurity and Government Business – What Government Contractors and Suppliers Should Be Doing Now and What They Can Expect in Cyber and Supply Chain Risk Management

Cybersecurity rules and best practices for government contractors and suppliers are complex and constantly evolving.  It has been two years since President Biden’s Executive Order on Improving the Nation’s Cybersecurity (EO 14028) and the Department of Defense’s announcement of its updated cybersecurity certification program, and new regulations under both are imminent.  This session will explore the current landscape and forthcoming regulations relating to cyber and supply chain risk management for companies that do business with the federal government. 

We will cover current requirements and best practices as well as the roll out of the Department of Defense’s Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) program and expected final regulations and guidance on cyber incident reporting and information sharing, secure software development, security for Internet of Things (IoT) devices, and more. 

Presented by Townsend Bourne, Partner and Co-Chair of Sheppard Mullin’s Government Business Group, Eric Finkbeiner, Director State and Local Government Affairs at SAIC and Brian Craig, General Counsel at SAIC.
