FAA is urged to tighten air traffic cyber-security

摘要

The US Federal Aviation Administration's failure to adequately evaluate and model cyber-security risks has left the nation's air traffic control system vulnerable to cyber-based threats, says the Government Accountability Office (GAO) in a report on 14 April. " [The] FAA has not developed a holistic threat model that would describe the landscape of security risks to FAA's information systems. Such a model would inform the ongoing implementation of FAA's cyber-security efforts to protect the national airspace system," it says.
