And it shouldn&#8217;t be that being secure comes with a big bill. It&#8217;s just like we wouldn&#8217;t pay extra for quality. We shouldn&#8217;t pay extra for security.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The responsibilities of primes goes beyond just ensuring their own internal cyber security, in Shanahan\u2019s eye. The former Boeing executive laid down the gauntlet to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/top-100\/\" target=_blank>biggest industrial partners<\/a>, saying flatly it is part of their job to make sure the lower-tier supplier are secure as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<aside class=\"smg-interstitial-link wp-block-smg-interstitial-link\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/c4isrnet\/home\/2018\/02\/06\/pentagons-no-2-dismissing-cyber-risks-is-like-ignoring-smoking-dangers\/\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__media\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"233\" src=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/patrick-shanahan-boeing.jpg.jpg?w=300\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__image wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__content\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"smg-interstitial-link__kicker\">Related<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"smg-interstitial-link__title\">Pentagon\u2019s No. 2: Dismissing cyber risks is like ignoring smoking dangers<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"smg-interstitial-link__excerpt\">The Pentagon and its contractors need to take a more rigid and uncompromising approach to cybersecurity, a change in philosophy that would require a more active role from CEOs and industry leaders.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\t\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI&#8217;m a real strong believer that the Tier 1 and Tier 2 leadership has a responsibility to manage the supply chain. And that&#8217;s where we have real gaps,\u201d he said. \u201cSecurity is the standard. It&#8217;s the expectation. It&#8217;s not something that&#8217;s above and beyond what we&#8217;ve done before.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In recent years the Pentagon has been increasingly vocal about its concerns that lower-tier suppliers are not as secure digitally as they need to be; unsecured parts from those suppliers can then be incorporated into larger projects, potentially with vulnerabilities that would not be discovered <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/cyber\/2018\/06\/08\/chinese-hackers-steal-sensitive-navy-program-data\/\" target=_blank>until it is too late<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To try and address that, the Pentagon has been looking at a plan to launch <a

which a cell would test vulnerabilities and try to penetrate the contractors&#8217; systems, in order to identify weaknesses.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The deputy secretary
