Event Description: NDIA New England is pleased to announce a 2018 full day forum, entitled DFARS CYBERSECURITY 2.0: THE YEAR OF CONTINUOUS MONITORING. This year’s event will be a fast-paced program to gain insight on the latest information in cybersecurity requirements for federal contractors under the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) and the upcoming General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

With cybersecurity safeguarding requirements firmly embedded in the FAR & DFARS and with the European Union’s GDPR preparing to impact the data held by international companies, the NDIA has tailored this year’s event to provide a regulatory update since our last event, provide insight into the issues and concerns based on current events, and provide a perspective of what to expect going forward.

The event will feature government and industry subject matter experts addressing the state of cybersecurity compliance and enforcement at all levels in the supply chain. Among the speakers joining us will be Terry Dunlap, CEO and Co-Founder of Refirm Labs specializing in Internet of Things (IOT) security; Vicki Michetti, Director of the Defense Industrial Base (DIB) Cyber Security (DIB CS) Program Office, under the DoD CIO; Mary Thomas, from the Director of Defense Procurement and Acquisition Policy (DPAP), in the OUSD, AT&L; and Daniel Holtzman, Cyber Technical Director, AF Materiel Command Life Cycle Management, Hanscom AFB. The program will focus on providing prime contractors and subcontractors with the tools needed to ensure and prepare for cybersecurity DoD and European data privacy mandates.
