October 10: “Implementing the Strategy” Hosted by NDIA in DFW

Summary:

Written in 2018, the National Defense Strategy lists several challenges we are facing coming from “strategic atrophy” and an eroding “competitive military advantage.” The strategy is calling for “A more lethal, resilient, and rapidly innovating Joint Force,” to meet these needs. It’s imperative that we face these challenges head-on in order to “Implement the Strategy.” The strategy calls for “creative approaches…sustained investment…execution…that can compete, deter, and win, in this increasingly complex security environment.”

The goal of this event is to discuss what this means to those of us in the industry that want to meet this challenge and continue to make this the greatest nation on earth.

September 10th with P. Steve Wheeler, Lockheed Aero and Susan Ebner, Partner, Stinson LLP

P. Steve Wheeler, Director, Security and Emergency Services at Lockheed Aero
Susan Ebner, Partner, Stinson LLP

Internal and external threats to the security of the Defense Supply Chain have triggered new requirements for government contractors and their suppliers.  We’ll address this in two parts: 

In Part 1, P. Steve Wheeler will present talk and discussion on what is this thing called “Insider Threat”.  What do our customers expect and require and why?  What are the fundamentals of an Insider Threat program and what does a good program look like?  What are the counterintelligence challenges and threats we are facing along with some anecdotal case examples. 

In Part 2, Susan Warshaw Ebner will talk about Supply Chain Risk Management. Why do we need to safeguard the supply chain? What new threats and emerging requirements need to be addressed by government contractors and their suppliers? Susan will discuss some steps that contractors should be taking to better manage and secure their supply chains in the face of these challenges.
