Critical Infrastructure protection; National Security/Emergency Preparedness/Emergency Telecommunication Service

From ITUwiki

The most basic requirement instituted by essentially every national or regional telecommunications legal regime, as well as the ITU's own treaty instruments internationally is the availability of a public communications infrastructure and its protection from harm. The requirement also encompasses Supervisory Control & Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems and networks that support other critical public infrastructures and services supporting, for example, essential government, transportation, utilities, finance, and health systems. This requirement typically results in an array of legal and regulatory provisions that mandate providers institute architectures and practices to protect their networks, control devices attached to the networks, and criminalize behavior that harms the infrastructure or impermissibly accesses network elements.

Requirements

As a group, these requirements typically result in a large array of global, regional, national, and local identity management requisites for providers, users, and objects that include resource discovery, authentication, authoritative identifiers and attributes, pattern logging, reputation and analysis, as well as availability and protection of these IdM resources.
