Lockheed Martin did not respond to questions regarding when the pilot program began and what products are being tested.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The pilot program comes amid growing concern that Pentagon parts have been infiltrated by hackers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Data compiled by Lockheed Martin shows that in the past decade, hackers have shifted from attacking large defense firms to targeting smaller subcontractors. Gordon said the change occurred because large defense contractors have hardened their cybersecurity and smaller companies are an easier target.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Attackers believe that it is easier to hack into small businesses who are further down the supply chain, rather than attempt to hack a large contractor, said Rich Astle, director of product management at NeQter Labs, a company that works on supply chain security with smaller businesses. Companies who work with controlled, unclassified information are required to follow <a href=\"https:\/\/nvlpubs.nist.gov\/nistpubs\/specialpublications\/nist.sp.800-171.pdf\" target=_blank>NIST standards<\/a>, but that does not always work, Astle said. Some subcontractors \u201cdon\u2019t know that the rules apply to them because they don\u2019t have a [direct] contract with the government.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Pentagon has also <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fifthdomain.com\/dod\/2018\/10\/08\/theres-a-serious-threat-to-the-supply-chain-says-pentagon\/\" target=_blank>warned<\/a> that its supply chain is under attack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cCybersecurity has not become an ingrained norm in manufacturing, especially in small and medium-sized manufacturers,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/media.defense.gov\/2018\/Oct\/05\/2002048904\/-1\/-1\/1\/ASSESSING-AND-STRENGTHENING-THE-MANUFACTURING-AND%20DEFENSE-INDUSTRIAL-BASE-AND-SUPPLY-CHAIN-RESILIENCY.PDF\"
