Listen "DOJ vs Small Defense Contractors"
Episode Synopsis
The Department of Justice finally did it: they went after a small defense contractor for failure to comply with their contractually obligated cybersecurity requirements. This case has it all from fake SPRS scores to whistleblowers getting paid hundreds of thousands of dollars to contractors paying millions in fines. All thanks to the same set of contract clauses in every DoD contract and the same errors committed by the vast majority of defense contractors.
