Salt Typhoon Storms The Government
Gestalt IT, Wednesday, December 11th, 2024
The big story this week is the continued fallout from Salt Typhoon. The US government is feeling the heat from the expsoure of so many telecom companies and they want answers.
FCC Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel has announced a proposed set of rules that would require companies that participate in the Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act (CALEA) to have a yearly requirement to certify their cybersecurity risk management plans to prevent hackers from getting in.
Senator Ron Wyden of Oregon has gone even further and proposed a draft bill to secure telecom networks with the FCC implementing specific requirements instead of simple certifications.
