Hewson said the result is a voluntary roadmap that a company can follow using a set of guidelines, some of which are already being implemented at Lockheed, according to the report.
“There are a host of things that we’ve learned,†she said, noting the importance of involvement and collaboration with partners and the supply chain to identify possible vulnerabilities or weak links.
