Measuring the Cyber Risk Posture of the Defense Industrial Base

resource-page-dib-report

In March 2021, the Biden Administration initiated an Executive Order for a risk assessment in various industries, including the defense industrial base (DIB), to evaluate cyber vulnerability and enhance defenses against cyber threats.

CyberSaint independently assessed the DIB's cybersecurity risk, focusing on the sector's large network of organizations in manufacturing, aerospace, and more, which are vital to the Department of Defense and highly targeted by cyber threats. The assessment aimed to provide a cybersecurity benchmark and best practices for the DIB and related infrastructure.

Key Findings:

  • Identified critical areas needing improvement within DIB's cybersecurity practices, following standards like NIST, DFARS, and CMMC.
  • Highlighted the DIB's challenges in meeting cybersecurity requirements and the need for proactive management.
  • Offered a strategic playbook for DIB entities to allocate resources efficiently for enhanced cybersecurity resilience.
