Pentagon tightens cybersecurity rules for defense contractors

The Pentagon has approved new rules that would require defense contractors to tighten their computer security procedures and to report any cyber intrusions that resulted in the loss of controlled technical information.

An amendment to defense acquisition rules published on Nov. 18, 2013 would require defense contractors to incorporate established information security standards on their unclassified networks and to report any intrusions that result in loss of technical information on those networks, a Pentagon statement said.
