FCC Proposes Cybersecurity Regulations for Telecoms, Mandating Annual Certification
Dec 5, 2024, 08:32 PM
FCC Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel has proposed new regulations aimed at bolstering the cybersecurity of telecommunications companies in response to the Salt Typhoon cyberattacks, which have infiltrated U.S. phone networks. The proposal, made in her final days as chair, would require telecom carriers to secure their networks from hackers or face potential fines. This move is based on a legal interpretation of a U.S. wiretapping law. Additionally, the FCC is considering rules that would mandate carriers to submit an annual certification attesting to their cybersecurity measures. The initiative comes amidst growing pressure from the federal government to address cybersecurity threats, particularly from Chinese government hackers.
