19: 3/23/23: Next steps for DOD/vendor cyber collaboration; the storage problem affecting government and industry

The new National Cybersecurity Strategy aligns with the Defense Department’s key cyber initiative. The Chief Executive Officer of the organization partnering with DOD on that initiative calls the strategy a rebalancing of cyber responsibilities. Matthew Travis, CEO of the Cyber AB, explains how the CMMC program intersects with the strategy.The Defense Department is extending a pilot program that allows vendors to store spare parts in warehouses the Defense Logistics Agency runs. But it may not be following its own rules to evaluate whether the program works. Diana Maurer, Director of the Defense Capabilities and Management team at the Government Accountability Office, details how the program works, what problems her team found, and what the Department should do about them.Photo: The Pentagon.
