What Happened
Cybersecurity and Engineering Teams Must Collaborate
Defense manufacturers face significant challenges in sharing technical information quickly and securely, while also protecting sensitive data from unauthorized access. The suspension of CMMC Phase II requirements has changed the certification outlook, but contractors still need to safeguard defense information. Engineering and cybersecurity teams must work together to address risks and ensure that authorized teams have access to current, approved product data. According to Breaking Defense, a well-governed PLM environment can help teams maintain an authoritative product record and manage permissions, while also supporting broader cybersecurity efforts.
