Security at our nations airports has received great attention in recent years due to several commercial aircraft explosions; however, securing our nations airports alone does not ensure safe air travel. It is also critical to secure the Federal Aviation Administrations (FAA) air traffic control (ATC) computer systems that provide information to air traffic controllers and aircraft flight crews to ensure safe and expeditious movement of aircraft. Given the paramount importance of computer security of ATC systems, you asked us to determine (1) whether 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 FAAs management structure and implementation of policy for computer security.
