Cloud Services

The cloud delivers computing resources over the Internet, such as storage, software, and services, creating a complex supply chain requiring extensive security protocols. Before deciding whether your business should migrate to the cloud, you should understand cloud computing’s capabilities and security risks.

5G and Beyond

Fifth generation wireless technologies (5G) provide the backbone for the critical connections necessary for prosperity and security in the United States. NTIA leads, coordinates, and engages in efforts to help ensure that 5G networks and the broader telecommunications supply chain are robust, reliable, and secure.

Internet for All

The Internet for All initiative provides more than $65 billion for infrastructure deployment, skills training, and access to technologies essential for Americans to connect with their communities. These grant programs aim to make high-speed internet affordable for all. They fund planning, infrastructure, and adoption efforts that promote digital equity and inclusion.

Climate Risks

While not a traditional component of supply chain risk management, climate risk to critical infrastructure is a growing concern across the United States.

Grant Information

NTIA manages and administers grant programs on behalf of the Federal government. Those grants are for programs and activities that promote the deployment of infrastructure for high-speed internet, manufacturing of critical components and technologies, and digital inclusion through access to skills development resources.

NTIA Releases Minimum Elements for a Software Bill of Materials

In addition to establishing the minimum elements for a Software Bill of Material (SBOM), this report defines the scope of how to think about minimum elements, describes SBOM use cases for greater transparency in the software supply chain, and lays out options for future evolution.

Supply Chain Best Practices

This one-page guide provides nine best practices for organizations to manage their supply chain risk.

Framework for Assessing Risks

The Framework also addresses means to identify and county supply chain attacks that can exploit products and processes throughout the supply chain lifecycle.

Assessment of the Critical Supply Chains Supporting the U.S. Information and Co…

This report evaluates the current supply chain conditions facing the Information and Communications Technology industry, identifies key risks that threaten to disrupt those supply chains, and proposes a strategy to mitigate risk and strengthen supply chain resiliency.

Outsourcing Network Services Assessment Tool (ONSAT)

The ONSAT provides any organization a comparative understanding of the supply chain risks associated with outsourcing network services to second and third party vendors. Also see: User Manual
