Tweet 4 Supply Chain

 

Matthew Halvorsen, Strategic Program Director for NCSC’s Supply Chain and Cyber Directorate, recently sat down with Andrew Coffey, a Deputy Director with the High Intensity Drug Trafficking Areas (HIDTA) Program at the Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP), for an audio interview on how the HIDTA program worked quickly to implement supply chain security measures to stem risks from certain Chinese companies, as mandated by Section 889 of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) of 2019.  The discussion is instructive for other federal agencies working to comply with supply chain security provisions of the NDAA.

 

This episode is the second in a series of interviews with experts and practitioners from government, industry, research and academia to spotlight threats to key U.S. supply chains and highlight mitigation.
