Program Summary
It is safe to say that most people do not but should understand in relation to cybersecurity, government contracting and potential liability. The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) identified sixteen (16) critical infrastructure sectors. If a lawyer or a client handles information relevant to any of these sectors, it is prudent to say the least, to appreciate what relevant laws, regulations (including departmental regulations) and standards apply. The focus of this presentation is on laying the foundation, walking through the Federal Government’s registration and subsequent processes for contractors, grantees, award recipients and child recipients and where cybersecurity obligations arise. The remainder of the presentation will illustrate how the implied theory of certification applies under the False Claims Act.
This course is co-sponsored with myLawCLE.
Key topics to be discussed:
- Understand relevant vernacular
- Appreciating the Federal Government’s process from registration through payment
- Learn why the False Claims Act implied certification theory applies to cybersecurity requirements beginning with SAM registration
