WEEKLY UPDATE FROM FAA ATO COO TERI BRISTOL
The ATO's Vigilance in Cyber Security
Hi everyone. Cybersecurity is an important priority for our nation. There's a lot of
concern about the protection of our personal and private data.
Certainly cyberattacks can also potentially disrupt service in the NAS, which has been
designated as critical infrastructure by Pres idential Executive Order, requiring greater
protection. This includes protection from a myriad of different threats such as intrusion
from outside sources, insider threat, attacks in the Radio Frequency and Satellite
spectrum, and the possibility of inadve rtent downloading of viruses into NAS systems.
To reflect a sharper focus on cybersecurity , we rebranded our National Enterprise
Operations directorate into the new NAS Security and Enterprise Operations, or NASEO,
this past October. Richard Morgan, acting director of NASEO, serves as the ATO's
cybersecurity executive. He represents the ATO on the FAA's Cyber Steering
Committee (CSC), which includes agency executives from NextGen, Security &
Hazardous Materials Safety and Aviation Safety, and the DOT's Chief Information
Security Officer representative. The CSC meets monthly to identify cybersecu rity
priorities and develop strategies that affect the whole agency. This way, we can marshal
all of our resources against cyber threats and communicate responses across the
agency more effectively.
