They should also create awareness among their subcontractors and smaller companies by providing training. Third, primes should create third party assessment programs for performing cybersecurity evaluations of their suppliers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, the paper also suggests non-regulatory approaches, including automating supply chain functions, integrating blockchain to boost cybersecurity and using artificial intelligence to gain real time visibility into the threat landscape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lucy noted that the Pentagon is beginning to take these regulations seriously and the problems aren\u2019t going away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIn 2019 we\u2019ve seen that the DoD has started to move forward, start to take action to enforce their expectations around the DFARS requirements,\u201d he said. \u201cIt\u2019s clear now with the steps that we\u2019re seeing with [Undersecretary of Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment] Ellen Lord getting the [Defense Contract Management Agency] on board to start auditing the suppliers processes for assessing their suppliers.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cyber intrusions into the supply chains of defense contractors have become more prevalent in recent years. In a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fifthdomain.com\/critical-infrastructure\/2018\/06\/12\/chinese-attacks-on-contractors-a-phenomenon-on-the-rise\/\" target=_blank>recent example<\/a>, the Chinese government was blamed for a series of hacks and while the information they stole was not technically classified, in aggregate, it was considered to be quite damaging to the U.S.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This year\u2019s Department-wide annual report on Chinese military activity included a new section highlighting that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/c2-comms\/2019\/05\/03\/new-report-explains-how-china-thinks-about-information-warfare\/\" target=_blank>China\u2019s exfiltration of sensitive military information from the defense industrial base could allow it to gain a military advantage<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ultimately, Lucy said the solution to the supply chain and cybersecurity for the defense industrial base is manageable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cMost primes, from what I\u2019ve seen with interactions with our customers, have put some level of the basic elements for a supplier assessment program in place already,\u201d he said. \u201cThey\u2019ve done some level of canvassing their suppliers, critical suppliers, taking a risk based approach to understand whether their suppliers are in adopting\u201d standards.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Contractors, facing an increasing barrage of cyber intrusions by foreign
