Abstract:

Chairman Rounds, Ranking Member Manchin, and distinguished Members of the Subcommittee on Cybersecurity, thank you for the opportunity to testify before you today on matters relating to the cybersecurity of Americas defense industrial base. This is a critically important issue and one about which I very much appreciate being asked to offer some thoughts. For those who dont know MITRE, we are a not-for-profit corporation that operates seven federally-funded research and development centers, or FFRDCs, for eight primary government sponsors. The largest of the FFRDCs we operate, the National Security Engineering Center, is sponsored by the Department of Defense. We also operate the National Cybersecurity FFRDC on behalf of the National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence, which is a component of the National Institute of Standards and Technology, or NIST.
