Government and Industry Contracting Small Business Cybersecurity Podcast

Early on, most agencies did not address cybersecurity as part of contracting. Now, it is standard language in all contracts, especially those in Government and Industry entities.

The U.S. Department of Defense has its own cybersecurity requirements for contractors. Being noncompliant can lead to cancellation of contracts and/or liability for damages, or more. Femi and Steve talk about what kinds of measures your small business needs to do in preparation for bidding on government and industry contracts.
