According to the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment (OUSD A&S), security should not be traded with cost, schedule, or performance moving forward. So, they’re working with DoD stakeholders, research centers, and industry partners to develop a set of standards and best practices that will enhance supply chain protections under a set of controls and processes called the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC).
