The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency’s (CISA) Information and Communications Technology (ICT) Supply Chain Risk Management (SCRM) Task Force presents its latest product, “Software Acquisition Guide for Government Enterprise Consumers: Software Assurance in the Cyber-Supply Chain Risk Management (C-SCRM) Lifecycle” (Software Acquisition Guide). The Task Force developed the Guide in response to the core challenges of software assurance and cybersecurity transparency in the acquisition process. The Guide provides individuals in software acquisition roles who support government agencies with a single point of guidance for achieving software assurance during software design, development, deployment, and operational use. Join the Task Force as they host a two-part webinar series to discuss how the Guide can help organizations increase supply chain resilience through software assurance.
