WASHINGTON, May 11 (Reuters) – The U.S. Defense Department
said it is expanding a program aimed at boosting the
computer-network security of its contractors to all eligible
companies that volunteer to take part.
Expanded information-sharing between the Pentagon and the
so-called defense industrial base is an important step to catch
up with “widespread” cyber threats to U.S. national security,
Ashton Carter, the deputy defense secretary, said in a
statement.
