How To Be Cyber Secure

LAWA's Dominic Nessi says the key to keeping a network secure is a combination of technology and training


Airports should also be subscribing to services such as MS-ISAC (Multi-State Information Sharing and Analysis Center) to help monitor networks.

According to its website, the MS-ISAC is the focal point for cyber threat prevention, protection, response, and recovery for the nation’s state, local, territorial, and tribal (SLTT) governments. The MS-ISAC 24/7 cyber security operations center provides real-time network monitoring, early cyber threat warnings and advisories, vulnerability identification and mitigation, and incident response.

Comments Nessi, “The other thing airports have to do is work together as a community to share issues and concerns, and to keep others informed of potential threats. We also need to work closely with our federal partners at DHS (Department of Homeland Security).”
