5 Critical IT Practices Aerospace Manufacturing Subcontractors Should Follow
Cloud | Data Governance | Information Security | Supply Chain, Logistics & Manufacturing | Transportation Tech
| By: Karl Bickmore, CEO, Snap Tech IT
During the past several years, we have seen a shift in the IT practices of aerospace manufacturing sub-contractors. As the federal government agencies tighten information security policies and procedures for primary aerospace manufacturers like Northrop Grumman and ATK, these companies are working harder than ever to ensure their downstream subcontractors have solid information security practices in place. This means that even the smallest organizations serving the aerospace industry need to improve their cybersecurity as well as their auditing. For many years, downstream aerospace manufacturing subcontractors could fly under the radar and be somewhat relaxed in their IT best practices and cybersecurity defense. This is quickly becoming a thing of the past. Organizations can no longer risk neglecting IT best practices and cyberdefense. |
