In this session, we will introduce students to guidance issued by Federal Agencies following Executive Order 14110 and considerations Federal Agencies are to consider when developing, procuring, and deploying Artificial Intelligence. We will examine cybersecurity and privacy considerations that permeate the procurement of Artificial Intelligence and areas of negotiation when procuring Artificial Intelligence. This session will also note potential further developments in the Federal Government's pursuit of Artificial Intelligence in following years. Learning Objectives: By the end of this session, students will be able to:  Identify the unique issues resident in procuring Artificial Intelligence  Areas of negotiation the Federal Government should consider when purchasing Artificial Intelligence  Cybersecurity and privacy issues that are areas of particular concern for Federal Agencies

In May 2021, President Biden signed EO 14028 which triggered new rules, regulations, directives, and technologies designed to improve the cybersecurity of both government and commercial companies across all industries. Come and join Protiviti's Perry Keating as we discuss Building a More Protected Union through the progress of the implementation of EO 14028 across the government and the 16 sectors of critical infrastructure. We will describe the necessary and proactive actions that you can take today to implement sound cybersecurity standards and best practices that address interoperability, usability, and privacy necessary to drive innovation and competitiveness while remaining secure and compliant. Learning Objectives:  Understand the requirements towards achieving a compliant and scalable cybersecurity program, that adopts the new rules and governing regulations new technologies such as Zero Trust Architecture, Zero Trust Maturity Model, and Cloud Computing.  Comprehend the new and proposed rules and regulations regarding reporting and disclosure of cyber events to include information sharing between the public and private sector and the affect they could have on your daily operations, continuity of operations and resiliency planning and how they will affect your company.  Learn why the government requires a Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) and Hardware Bill of Materials (HBOM) through the best practice of implementing real-time asset management program to include mandating implementation of a compliant Secure Software Development Framework (SSDF).  Learn about the new TSA Security Directives (SD1 & SD2) and what impact they have on security practices, mitigation measures and response plans for utilities and other critical infrastructures.  Understand best practices to achieving compliance with the new FAR and DFARS regulations which plan to force compliance with the recently released CMMC 2.0 for the Defense Industrial Base and Civilian, Higher Education, and State Government agency vendors.

Catching the Next Wave of DFARS Cybersecurity Compliance Cybersecurity: it feels like an endless summer, doesn't it? For those doing business with the DoD, new regulatory waves keep coming, leaving contractors in a riptide of DFARS cybersecurity compliance. Keeping your head above water requires an informed cybersecurity strategy, now more than ever. Join Steel Root, experts in cybersecurity and DFARS compliance, for a discussion with Alex Major, co-leader of the Government Contracts and Export Controls group at McCarter & English on how contractors who may be treading water can learn how to pop up and catch the next wave of cybersecurity compliance. Participants will learn about:  The DoD's new Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) program. As early as 2021, every prime and subcontractor on a DoD supply chain may need to be audited and certified under CMMC. We'll parse out what is known about the evolving program and offer strategies for how to prepare for the changes.  Strategies for achieving and maintaining DFARS 252.204-7012 compliance in the context of changing regulatory and market forces.  Why NIST compliance is likely not a high enough standard for DoD contractors.  Bridging the IT gap with practical tips for compliance readiness and cyber resiliency. This webinar is sponsored by Steel Root. About our presenters Ryan Heidorn, Ryan Bonner and Alex Major:
