UPDATES
October 2, 2020
The Cybersecurity Best Practices Committee maintains an evolving set of strategic and tactical initiatives to strengthen cyber readiness across the Defense Industrial Base partners. To give one example that’s both strategic and tactical, the Committee focuses on improving cyber incident exchanges through the DoD’s Defense Industrial Base (DIB) Cybersecurity Program. That goal fits into the larger objectives of the Committee based on input from USTRANSCOM and DLA’s leadership. Specifically, we’ve asked Mr. Phillip Glinatsis, Director, Defense Industrial Base Cybersecurity Program, to join with the Committee in raising the level of engagement among USTRANSCOM and DLA industry partners. Please contact us if we can help you accelerate progress in this or any other area of Defense Industrial Base Cybersecurity and alignment with the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) or the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) 800-171 cyber controls.
