About the AFEI December Cyber Series

AFEI is holding two cyber-related events back-to-back in December to address two of the critical aspects of the cyber ecosystem: 

Supply Chain Cyber Risk Forum - understanding supply chain risk from cyber vulnerabilities and building trusted/assured sources of supply for defense, homeland security, critical infrastructure and economic well-being; and

Cyber Deterrence Forum - applying deterrence principles to the cyber domain.

Attend both events and receive special discount of $75 off of the Cyber Deterrence registration fee.  You must contact Tammy Kicker ([email protected]) to take advantage of this offer.  See Registration tab for details.

AFEI is hosting these in conjunction with the NDIA Cyber Division, which it co-chairs.  For more information on the Cyber Division go to the NDIA Cyber Division web site page here.

2nd Annual Supply Chain Cyber Risk Forum 

"The risk of compromise in the manufacturing process is very real and is perhaps the least understood cyber threat."

                                
- Former Deputy Secretary of Defense William Lynn

Supply chains are critical parts of larger enterprises.   Attention must be paid to all things coming into that enterprise that could, like a mosquito carrying a disease, introduce vulnerabilities.  

The Defense Department, through efforts such as the Trusted Foundry program and use of standards like Common Criteria (ISO/IEC 15408), is working to reduce its supply chain vulnerability footprint.  This is not a small problem.  Some have recommended government measures that mandate significant and potentially onerous consequences for suppliers having inadequate cyber protections.

The House Republican Cybersecurity Task Force, however, recommends an approach based more on incentives rather than regulations.

The Cyber risks and vulnerabilities in an improperly managed supply chain, from counterfeit equipment to malware to other avenues of attack, are real and growing.   Agencies and departments are developing policies to keep a more watchful eye on vendors, partners, and others in their cyber supply chains and adopt best practices for mitigating risks across their systems and processes.

The question remains:  Will they be carrots or sticks?

For Attendees

This symposium addresses the following questions:

  • Update:  What’s happened since the last seminar and what’s new in the 2012 FY that we need to be aware of?
  • What policy and legislation approaches are best in addressing this problem?
  • What are new policies and models for trusting suppliers, their supply chains and systems? Are current policies and those under consideration regarding suppliers and counterfeiting really going to be effective?
  • Self-regulation vs government mandates – which is the more effective method?
  • Do stringent requirements endanger fragile industries?
  • Do half-measures provide inadequate protections?
  • What are the unintended consequences of physical and cyber intersections for supply chains?
  • How are real issues in this space defined and differentiated from non-issues?

The Comprehensive National Cybersecurity Initiative (CNCI) Initiative 11 recommends developing a multi-pronged approach for global supply chain risk management.   This initiative should provide “a robust toolset to better manage and mitigate supply chain risk at levels commensurate with the criticality of, and risks to, their systems and networks.”

Who Should Attend?

Over one hundred and twenty five professionals in this area attended the first Cyber Supply Chain Forum.  They represented a cross-section of businesses, large and small, who are participants in a supply chain and who have a stake in the outcome of debates on these topics.

Budget talks have stalled some action on this issue, but it is coming.  Industry is realizing that being a "good supplier" means having adequate cyber protections, both for its own intellectual property and for the Government data it is privileged to maintain or have access to.

The time is coming when some for of auditable certification of cyber protection will be required to obtain Government business.

If you want to gain insights on what the future holds, participate in these critical discussions, be a part of the solution and not the problem, and network with others to learn what they are doing, then this event is for you.
