Tech Talks: Panel Discussion on DFARS and NIST Requirements and Compliance

On 21 Oct. 2016, the U.S. Department of Defense published the Final Rule for DFARS 252.204-7012, Safeguarding Covered Defense Information and Cyber Incident Reporting, which was effective immediately. Contractors must fully meet the security requirements outlined in the DFARS clause, to include the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) SP 800-171, for "covered contractor information systems" as soon as practical but no later than 31 Dec. 2017. It represents the government’s efforts to prevent improper access of important unclassified information in the supply base.

Join SENEDIA for a panel discussion on the DFARS and NIST technical and contractual requirements and how local defense contractors are addressing compliance.
