With even DoD officials acknowledging cyber threats ranging from exfiltrating our top military secrets (“the terabyte of death” per DISA’s Director) to seizing control of SECDEF’s car to sinking Navy vessels with critical infrastructure attacks, both federal agencies and government contractors are in the pressure cooker.  For contractors, bad cybersecurity not only opens the door to cyber espionage and privacy breaches followed by costly clean-up and lost trade secrets, but now – with the latest DoD guidance – may put critical contract awards at risk.  Join us this Thursday, May 17, at 1:00 PM Eastern, as Crowell & Moring attorneys Paul Rosen, Evan Wolff, David Bodenheimer, and Michael Gruden lead a discussion highlighting recent developments impacting the volatile privacy and cybersecurity sector.  Specific topics include:

• Navigating Government Contracts Information Security and Privacy Risks:  Updates to NIST Cybersecurity Standards, Pending FAR Cyber Clauses, and DFARS Safeguarding Clause New Developments
• Trekking the  Internet of Things (IoT) Cyber Frontier
• Managing Effective Cyber Incident Response: Preparing Incident Response Plans, Practicing Tabletop Exercises, and Executing Effective Cybersecurity Defense
