Pentagon Could Impose New Cyber Regulations on Industry

Deputy Defense Secretary Patrick Shanahan has said the Defense Department could initiate new measures that may require companies and their suppliers to carry out cyber hygiene practices to better protect the agency’s critical data assets from threat actors, National Defense reported Tuesday.

“We want the bar to be set so high, it will become the condition of doing business” with DoD, Shanahan said Tuesday at the annual WEST conference hosted by the U.S. Naval Institute and Armed Forces Communications and Electronics Association in San Diego, California.
