Join McCarter & English experts Alex Major, Franklin Turner, and Cara Wulf as they take you on a 1.5 hour guided swim through the EO to provide you with better visibility as to how these new cybersecurity measures should flow into existing and future FAR, DFARS, NIST and CMMC compliance efforts; the challenges addressed by the internet of things, encryption, and software supply chains; and how to avoid the unseen enforcement dangers all of these efforts could bring.
