BOSTON, Sept. 28, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The Consortium for Information & Software Quality™ (CISQ™), an IT industry leadership group that develops standards for automating software quality measurement, today announced its 8th annual Cyber Resilience Summit, From Securing the Supply Chain to Enterprise DevSecOps.

The virtual summit will be held on October 13, 2020 from 8:00am - 4:00pm, bringing defense, government, and industry leaders together to discuss policy, standards and best practices for IT modernization, cybersecurity, cyber resilience, and supply chain risk management.

Dr. Bill Curtis, Executive Director, CISQ, and Luke McCormack, retired, former CIO, U.S. Department of Homeland Security will provide welcome remarks and emcee the event.

"The Cyber Resilience Summit is a premier event bringing together federal and industry IT leaders to discuss critical issues affecting the nation's cyber infrastructure," said Dr. Curtis. "CISQ will introduce two new proposed standards for managing software risk: a Data Protection Measure and a Software Bill of Materials standard."

"This summit will help people better leverage CISQ-sponsored efforts to support enterprise and supply chain needs for software transparency and protecting data, confidential information, IP, and Privacy.
