The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Science and Technology Directorate (S&T) will be releasing a document that provides a roadmap to threat mitigation of Position, Navigation, and Timing (PNT) services, a national critical function powering many of the critical infrastructure sectors that enable modern society. The conformance framework was developed with input from industry stakeholders and will help critical infrastructure owners and operators make risk-informed decisions when deciding what PNT equipment to deploy. It provides distinct levels of resilience so end users can choose equipment that’s appropriate for their needs, based on criticality and risk tolerance.

University of Arkansas engineering researchers, will lead a new national center devoted to cybersecurity for electric power utilities.
