DOJ Announces Safe Harbor for Acquirers Who Disclose Pre-Acquisition Misconduct

On October 4, 2023, Deputy Attorney General (DAG) Lisa O.

How to “Deliver Uncompromised”

In the wake of the recently released “Deliver Uncompromised” report, defense contractors are questioning how their cybersecurity posture could help – or hurt – their competitiveness.  Under the report’s recommendations, a contractor’s overall security would join cost, performance, and schedule as key evaluation pillars – marking a significant shift in how contractors compete for work.
