Contractors get more time to meet new security regs

February 18, 2016 By Andrew Smith

securitUS DoD logoThe Defense Department has given contractors two years to meet new requirements for securing sensitive DoD data on non-Federal IT systems, responding to industry concerns over moving too quickly to the new standards.

The New Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplements (DFARS) were supposed to go into effect Dec. 31. But DoD backed off its initial plan after industry objections surfaced last fall.

The new DFARS was published in August 2015 to reflect the “urgent need to increase the cyber security requirements” on information held by contractors, said DOD spokeswoman Lt. Col. Valerie Henderson.

The new rules require contractors to comply with National Institute of Standards (NIST) Special Publication 800.171 to protect Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI).

The 77-page document establishes a streamlined set of controls drawn from the much larger Special Publication 800-53, a 462-page catalog of NIST security controls developed for federal IT systems.

DISA discloses 3-year network equipment purchase plan

September 6, 2013 By ei2admin

The Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) plans to purchase nearly $239 million in equipment over the next three fiscal years to operate and maintain the U.S. military’s core enterprise network.

Several manufacturers could compete to provide DISA equipment covered under the agency’s Approved Products List, according to an Aug. 15 FedBizOpps notice.

Manufacturers identified in the APL can obtain a government sponsor and apply to have their products tested and added to the list at any time, DISA said in the notice.
