FCC Chair Carr Looks to Eliminate Telecom Cybersecurity Ruling
FCC Chair Brendan Carr plans to eliminate a declaratory ruling aimed at strengthening network security.
The ruling, made by his predecessor, requires telecom companies to ensure sufficient cybersecurity protections are in place, following widespread hacks by China's Salt Typhoon threat group.
- The declaratory ruling was made in January by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) under then-Chair Jessica Rosenworcel.
- The decision was a response to the poor cybersecurity of U.S. telecom companies highlighted by the Salt Typhoon attack.
- Brendan Carr, then an FCC member, voted against the declaration.
The ruling aims to give the government more power to force carriers to strengthen their network security.
