The Office of the Director of National Intelligence has released a video highlighting the threats foreign entities pose to federal agencies and others that use private sector supply chains in their acquisition of goods and services.
According to the ODNI, the video “raises awareness of increased risk to supply chains due to the evolving dependence on globally sourced commercial information and technologies for mission critical systems and services. The risks are passed to end users through products and services that may contain defective, counterfeit or otherwise tainted components—such as compromised telecommunications equipment.”
The ODNI said it also plans to provide agencies with threat briefings, a supply chain risk management blueprint and an online training course.
The video is on the odni.gov site.
