Supply Chain Risk 2012
"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
Newly Released Report
Occupying the Information High Ground: Chinese Capabilities for Computer Network Operations and Cyber Espionage
China has been acknowledged as a source for cyber intrusions as well as counterfeit micro-electronics. A newly released report prepared for the U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission expands on a 2009 assessment of China's evolving computer network operations capabilities and risks to the U.S. Telecommunications Supply Chain.

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.
