DRT Strategies has received a potential three-year, $4 million contract to help the Agriculture Department‘s Office of Information Security to manage a cybersecurity program.

The company said Monday it aims to help USDA comply with Executive Order 13800: Strengthening the Cybersecurity of Federal Networks and Critical Infrastructure and Executive Order Memorandum M-17-25: Reporting Guidance for Executive Order 13800 through the contract.
