The DoD's Latest Supply Chain Cybersecurity Strategy | TD SYNNEX Public Sector
As supply chains become more digitized and interdependent, they also become more vulnerable. The blog, "The DoD's Latest Supply Chain Cybersecurity Strategy," explores how the Department of Defense is enhancing supplier oversight, requiring continuous monitoring, and prioritizing Zero Trust principles throughout its network of vendors. Read the blog today and contact Strictly Tech, LLC to discuss secure networking strategies that align with federal cybersecurity standards.
What are the new cybersecurity requirements for DoD contractors?
Contractors selling software, services, or infrastructure to the Defense Industrial Base (DIB) will face tighter requirements, faster timelines, and a zero-tolerance policy for compliance gaps. Key initiatives include mandatory CMMC 2.0 Level 2 assessments by FY25, the submission of Software Bills of Materials (SBOM), and participation in the Software Fast Track (SWFT) initiative.
How does the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) impact vendors?
The CMMC is crucial for ensuring that contractors can protect Federal Contract Information (FCI) and Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI). Currently, Level 2 assessments are voluntary but will become mandatory by the end of FY25. Vendors should begin preparing through self-assessments and certified third-party reviews to ensure compliance.
What is the Software Fast Track (SWFT) initiative?
The SWFT initiative aims to accelerate software delivery to DoD buyers by replacing slow risk management processes. It includes pre-approval security reviews, AI-driven anomaly detection, and aims to cut duplication while shortening deployment timelines. An implementation plan is expected in July 2025.
