US comms best practices database has been updated

The US Public Safety and Homeland Security Bureau (PSHSB) has advised that the FCC’s Communications Security, Reliability, and Interoperability Council (CSRIC) Best Practices database has been updated.

At a December 2019 meeting, CSRIC VII approved an update to the database that includes best practices from CSRIC VI (addressing communications network security, emergency preparedness and disaster recovery) and retires best practices that have become obsolete.

CSRIC’s role is to make recommendations to the FCC regarding ways in which it can work to boost the security, reliability and interoperability of communications systems for industry and public safety organisations.

A searchable database of the best practices is available online.
