FAA Computer Security
Recommendations to Address Continuing Weaknesses Gao ID: GAO-01-171 December 6, 2000The Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA) agencywide computer security programs have serious, pervasive problems in the following key areas: personnel security, facility physical security, operational systems security, information systems security management, service continuity, and intrusion detection. Until FAA addresses the pervasive weaknesses in its computer security program, its critical information systems will remain at increased risk of intrusion and attack and its aviation operations will also remain at risk.
