Department of Defense’s Defense Industrial Base Cyber Security/Information Assurance Program

Overview
The Deputy Secretary of Defense directed the establishment of the Department of Defense’s Defense Industrial Base Cyber Security/Information Assurance (DIB CS/IA) Program pilot program in 2007 to address cybersecurity risks to the unclassified networks of cleared defense companies that process or maintain DOD program information. DOD DIB CS/IA provides a mechanism, including a secure network, for cyber threat information sharing, cyber incident reporting, and cyber intrusion damage assessment under a voluntary framework agreement between DOD and companies at the corporate level.
