The Federal Communications Commission's Public Safety and Homeland Security Bureau (PSHSB) is seeking public comment on the creation of a Cybersecurity Roadmap to identify vulnerabilities to communications networks or end-users and to develop countermeasures and solutions in preparation for, and response to, cyber threats and attacks in coordination with federal partners. CoSN would like to encourage your participation in this feedback process in order to ensure that schools are represented in the findings. The FCC's Cybersecurity Roadmap was recommended as an initial step forward in the area of cybersecurity as part of the National Broadband Plan (NBP). The NBP stated that the roadmap should identify the five most critical cybersecurity threats to the communications infrastructure and its end users and establish a two-year plan, including milestones, for the FCC to address these threats. The Cybersecurity Roadmap will establish a plan for the FCC to address vulnerabilities to core Internet protocols and technologies and threats to end-users, including consumers, business enterprises, including small businesses, public safety and all levels of government. The FCC has set a new target date of November 2010 to complete the roadmap.
