In the attached article, entitled “Cybersecurity and your supply chain: What you don’t know may hurt you,” the authors provide a three-step approach to ensuring compliance with the updated Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) covered defense information regulations within a contractor’s supply chain. Please feel free to contact the authors with questions.
