Agency Software: Ensuring it is Secure though the Supply Chain
January 31, 2023, 1:00pm - 1:30pm ET

Recent federal mandates around cybersecurity are driving changes to how software is developed. A key milestone in the recently issued OMB M-22-18 requires that vendors attest that they follow NIST standards for a risk-based approach for secure software development. Come learn more about GSA’s work to implement the requirements of this memo.
