The US False Claims Act Becomes a Cybersecurity Enforcement Engine
For years, many government contractors treated cybersecurity compliance as a technical checklist, important, certainly, but often siloed within IT departments. That mindset is no longer tenable. The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) has announced that cybersecurity representations to the federal government are now squarely within the enforcement core of the False Claims Act (FCA). What began in October 2021 as the Civil Cyber-Fraud Initiative has matured into a sustained and expanding enforce...| Cyble
