CSRIC VII Report Measuring Risk Magnitude and Remediation Costs in 9-1-1 and NG9-1-1 Networks

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) directed CSRIC VII to study and produce a Report on Security Risks and Best Practices for Mitigation in 9-1-1 in Legacy, Transitional, and NG9-1-1 Implementations. IP networks facilitate NG9-1-1 architectures that enable new response capabilities, while also creating potential opportunities for cyber-attacks that can disrupt Public Safety Answering Point/Emergency Communications Center (PSAPs/ECCs) operations. This report identifies extensive findings that drive a wide range of measures for mitigating the effects of cyber-risks.
