Defense Industrial Base Cybersecurity affiliates, encompassing global supply and logistics chains, connect to the DIB network and have access to classified technologies and information. National security concerns elevate the importance of data security for defense contractors. They share, exchange, and create Covered Defense Information (CDI) and Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) on program specifications, technology, and equipment performance as they collaborate across research, design, development, manufacturing and deployment of defense products.
Apart from a national security threat, cyberattacks can also cause significant financial and reputational damage to defense contractors, which may disrupt supply chains and result in cost and schedule overruns.
The Ignyte Assurance Platform™ empowers Defense Industrial Base Cybersecurity affiliates to effectively manage and protect sensitive data and comply with CMMC, NIST & DFARS regulations.
As the potential for supply chain cyberattacks continues to grow, Defense Industrial Base Cybersecurity affiliates need to look beyond the minimum requirements within the self-reported compliance checklists and build a proactive approach to managing risks within their organizations. DoD prime contractors should take steps to demonstrate initiative in taking responsibility for the flow down of NIST SP 800-171 compliance requirements to their supplier ecosystem. Ignyte Assurance Platform maps your organizational controls and assesses new regulations as they are released to ensure ongoing compliance.
Stakes are high for Defense Industrial Base Cybersecurity affiliates who provide research and development, manufacturing, mission assurance, engineering, logistics and acquisition, cybersecurity and IT, and testing and integration services. DIB affiliates are constantly innovating to produce technologically advanced products, and the speed of innovation results in creating a significant amount of intellectual property (IP), which must be digitally protected by all participants in the supply chain. Ignyte Assurance Platform designed a system to ensure a proper storage and record of all tangible and intangible assets that require cyber protection.
