To that end, it operates and relies extensively on an array of interconnected automated information systems and networks that comprise the nation's air traffic control systems. These systems provide information to air traffic controllers and aircraft flight crews to help ensure the safe and expeditious movement of aircraft. Interruptions of service by these systems could have a significant adverse impact on air traffic nationwide. Effective information security controls are essential for ensuring that the nation's air traffic control systems are adequately protected from inadvertent or deliberate misuse, disruption, or destruction. Accordingly, GAO was asked to evaluate the extent to which FAA has implemented information security controls for these systems. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-05-712/html/GAOREPORTS-GAO-05-712.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-05-712/pdf/GAOREPORTS-GAO-05-712.pdf GAO-05-712 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-GAO-05-712 Other Written Product GAO-05-712; Information Security: Progress Made, but Federal Aviation Administration Needs to Improve Controls over Air Traffic Control Systems; Air traffic control systems Air transportation Computer networks Computer security Information resources management Information security Information systems Internal controls Physical security Transportation safety Transportation security Unauthorized access Systems evaluation Strategic planning Public Law 107-347
