Description

Government supply chains integrate multiple supply sources to support missions. Any increase in OPTEMPO can exacerbate network vulnerabilities and place additional strain on security programs. As threats advance and programs grow, solutions using automated processes for risk oversight and intervention will increase protection.


Key Take-aways

Key Takeaways:
• Today’s accountability professionals need to know how to identify threats, assess networks, evaluate scale and depth, predict risks and recommend controls, integrate solutions and communicate deterrents.
• Stay ahead of the curve with connected enterprise applications, advanced cyber and data analytics, AI and network visibility.

Learning Objectives

Through case studies of DoD solutions, learn how AI-enabled digital transformation advances security and how subtle changes in processes and technology can lead to undesirable outcomes. Understand the consequences of incomplete visibility into risks or into contract actions for security provisions, ineffective risk management processes, and the absence of a holistic reporting capability.
