Robert Metzger to Moderate Panel for CGP’s First-Ever Cybersecurity Symposium

Rogers, Joseph O’Donnell P.C. shareholder Robert S. Metzger will moderate a panel providing actionable insights and updates for cybersecurity procurement and compliance professionals at an upcoming cybersecurity symposium in Washington, D.C. 

The Cyberside Chat is the first of its kind by the Coalition for Government Procurement (CGP), featuring three panels covering the latest programs, policies and trends, including the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) Program.

Metzger will moderate a panel including Jeff Spinnanger, director of information and acquisition protection at the Office of the Secretary of Defense, and Stacy Bostjanick, chief defense industrial base cybersecurity at the office of the DoD Chief Information Officer and CMMC Director. 

The event will be held on Sept. 12 online and in the offices of Google at 25 Massachusetts Ave NW. Metzger’s panel begins at 8:55 a.m.

Considered one of the country’s leading cyber lawyers for government contractors, Metzger has represented leading corporations such as Microsoft and five of the top 20 aerospace and defense companies in their highest-profile contracts, disputes, compliance audits and bid protests.

Washington Technology has noted that Metzger is “considered by many to be the father of the U.S. Department of Defense’s Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification,” which governs how contractors and subcontractors must secure sensitive defense information. His work, including his contributions to the Defense Science Board task force and MITRE’s “Deliver Uncompromised” report, has helped to shape government contracting cyber and supply chain security policies.
