NSTAC
Enhancing Cybersecurity
- Network Security.
The shifting technology and network environment necessitates ongoing
efforts by the NSTAC to ensure up-to-date analysis and recommendations
in the cybersecurity realm. The NSTAC currently is exploring key areas
of network security and identifying specific issue areas to examine
in greater depth. The NSTAC also is considering the legal and regulatory
capabilities and restrictions to effective Government or private sector
preparedness and mitigation response to cyber incidents.
- Identity Management.
The NSTAC provided an analysis of NS/EP challenges associated with
the migration from circuit-switched networks to packet-switched next
generation networks (NGN). The committee developed key recommendations
essential to assuring NS/EP communications in this evolving network
environment, which included recommending that the Federal Government
build an effective identity management framework for the NGN. The
NSTAC has extended its examination of identity management issues and
plans to address the subject as it relates to NS/EP at the 2008 Research
and Development Exchange Workshop.
