Allan Friedman is the Director of Cybersecurity Initiatives of NTIA (National Telecommunication and Information Administration) US Dept of Commerce. The problem: unknown software supply chain.

Where we are: some background on why the govt is doing this, the results thus far, and where we are going next. Potential to discuss regulation, govt policy, etc.
