Presented by Jeffrey L. Westeman • CSCP; VP of Programs, Air Capital Chapter of AFCEA The integrated supply chains we rely upon to manufacture stealth aircraft, build submarines, and design new weapon platforms to protect our country are at risk from threat actors who exploit the connectivity of our global distribution systems to steal intellectual property, allowing nation states to modernize their economies, advance their military capabilities, and weaken U.S. global influence. We'll review the history and reasoning behind the contractual requirements for cyber security at defense contractors as detailed in Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) 252.204-7012, and outline steps your organization must take to adequately safeguard controlled, unclassified information (CUI) as specified by NIST800-171, "Protecting CUI in Nonfederal Information Systems and Organizations". We'll also discuss MITRE's 2018 "Deliver Uncompromised" report and how the recommendations will reshape future defense acquisitions.

Mr. Westeman has over 35 years of experience in information technology, security operations, supply chain management, and manufacturing.
