Commissioner Trusty Fiber Broadband Association Summit Remarks

Ultimately, ensuring network resiliency and security is a shared responsibility. Interagency and industry coordination is paramount. The Federal Communications Commission has an important role to play working with its federal partners, industry, and Congress, on a range of issues, including: reevaluating outage reporting to reflect modern networks; strengthening transparency around supply-chain risks; and supporting responsible space and satellite growth. Likewise, advancing spectrum policies that incorporate security considerations, encouraging modernization of vulnerable legacy networks, and integrating AI into networks and FCC decision-making remain critical components to establishing enduring network resilience and security. Continued coordination with law enforcement on infrastructure vandalism and deepening collaboration with allies on international communications security are key parts of our efforts, too.
