Abstract:Given the paramount importance of computer security of Air Traffic Control (ATC) systems, Congress asked the General Accounting Office to determine (1) whether the Fedcral Aviation Administration (FAA) is effectively managing physical security at ATC facilities and systems security for its current operational systems, (2) whether FAA is effectively managing systems security for future ATC modernization systems, and (3) the effectiveness of FAA's management structure and implementation of policy for computer security. This report summarizes the weaknesses the GAO found in FAA's ATC computer security program and its recommendations for corrective actions.
