Pentagon drafting 'white paper' on use of automation for software security

摘要

The Defense Department is drafting a "white paper" on the use of automation technologies for developing and using secure software, which is expected to be issued later this year for industry input, according to officials at a MITRE-hosted meeting on supply-chain security. The DOD paper is being developed by a working group formed last December that builds on the Pentagon's broader efforts for software assurance, with implications for purchasing decisions and product development beyond the contracting community.
