DOT IG auditing FAA cybersecurity efforts

摘要

In response to a request from the chairman of the U. S. House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure, the DOT inspector general (IG) last month launched an audit of the FAA's role and responsibilities as a member of the Aviation Cybersecurity Initiative (ACI). The ACI is an interagency task force made up of the Departments of Homeland Security and Defense, in addition to the FAA. The three agencies work together to identify and mitigate cybersecurity vulnerabilities affecting the aviation industry and the public.
