As supply chain vulnerabilities tilt the balance of national security, insights from Andrea McFeely, MITRE senior principal, and Glenn Gerstell, senior advisor at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, recently featured in Defense One are more relevant than ever.
The article highlights the pivotal role information sharing plays as the cornerstone of cybersecurity and supply chain resilience. The authors urgently call for enhanced collaboration between the federal government and the defense industry.
“Our government must find a way—now, before the next conflict—to share supply chain vulnerabilities with the defense industry. Otherwise, we run the risk that in that next conflict, another country will have compromised our critical supply chains, so our missiles will miss their targets, our bombs will fail to work, and our commanders won’t be able to communicate with their troops."
