Gaining a Competitive Advantage Through Cyber, Data, & Personnel Security

Cybersecurity and protection of sensitive data from external and insider threats are critical for federal contractors across all industries and in all market positions. Each significant data breach or cyber incident and corresponding legislative and regulatory initiatives confirms that cyber, data, and personnel security will continue to dominate the federal contracting landscape. 

In this environment, contractors need to move beyond viewing compliance as a cost center. Your compliance posture presents a significant opportunity to gain (or lose) a competitive advantage in the pursuit of federal prime contracts and subcontracts. Indeed, we are seeing cyber, data, and personnel security regularly impact contractors in entering into teaming arrangements, proposal writing, award decisions, protests, hiring and employee training, and mergers and acquisitions. 

PilieroMazza’s Cybersecurity, Data Privacy, and Personnel Security group is pleased to present this forum to bring together perspectives from leading practitioners to discuss how cybersecurity, supply chain risk management, data rights, and personnel security are shaping the competitive landscape for federal prime contracts and subcontracts. Panel presentations will provide insights and strategies to help contractors gain a competitive advantage through discussions of: 

• How cybersecurity is impacting award decisions and teaming for federal contracts
• Protecting your data rights
• Cybersecurity in due diligence and mergers and acquisitions
• Developing a robust insider threat program and other risk mitigation strategies 

Who Should Attend

This conference is specifically designed for professionals in the government contracting sector -- from all industries -- who manage cybersecurity, data rights, and personnel security for their organizations, including business owners and C-suite executives, and technology and human resource professionals.
