13-10-5118Equipment Suppliers should test electronic hardware to ensure its compliance with design criteria for tolerance to electromagnetic energy, shock, vibration, voltage spikes, and temperature if they are supplying critical network elements.
13-10-5119Equipment Suppliers should document the technical specifications of critical network elements of their electronic hardware, including characteristics such as tolerance limitations to electromagnetic energy, vibration, voltage spikes and temperature ranges.
13-10-5120Network Operators, Service Providers, Equipment Suppliers, Property Managers, and Public Safety should evaluate the potential benefits and security implications when making decisions about building and facility signage, both internally and externally.
13-10-5121Network Operators, Service Providers, Equipment Suppliers, and Public Safety should develop and consistently implement software delivery procedures that protect the integrity of the delivered software in order to prevent software loads from being compromised during the delivery process.
13-10-5129Network Operators, Service Providers should if they are required by the government to file outage reports for major network outages, ensure that such reports do not unnecessarily contain information that discloses specific network vulnerabilities, in order to prevent such information from being unnecessarily available in public access.
13-10-5134Network Operators, Service Providers, Equipment Suppliers, and Public Safety should consider establishing a policy to manage the risks associated with key personnel traveling together.
13-10-5135Network Operators, Service Providers, Equipment Suppliers, and Public Safety should participate in the Communications Security, Reliability and Interoperability Council (CSRIC) and its working groups in order to develop industry Best Practices for addressing and mitigating public communications infrastructure vulnerabilities.
13-10-5141Network Operators, Service Providers, Equipment Suppliers, and Public Safety should consider restricting, supervising, and/or prohibiting tours of critical network facilities, systems and operations.
13-10-5142Network Operators, Service Providers, and Equipment Suppliers should work together to deploy safeguards to protect the software (i.e. generic or upgrade releases) being loaded to network elements in order to prevent sabotage.
13-10-5143Network Operators should maintain access, if they are responsible for satellite operations, to a back-up or secondary uplink site to provide tracking, telemetry and control (T.T.&C.) support for all operational communications spacecraft. The back-up or secondary site must be geographically diverse from the primary uplink facility, active and tested on a regular schedule to insure readiness and timely response.
13-10-5144Network Operators should maintain a current database of all satellite transmit and receive sites (i.e. uplink and downlink facilities) that are operational and/or support their services and networks.
13-10-5145Network Operators and Public Safety should establish plans to perform interference analysis and mitigation to ensure timely resolution of all cases of interference (e.g., caused by equipment failure, intentional act/sabotage or frequency overlap), and, where feasible, identify the type and general location of the interference source.
13-10-5146Network Operators and Service Providers should develop and manage Satellite service recovery plans to ensure the timely restoration of services in the event of transponder loss, payload failure, and satellite failure.
13-10-5152Network Operators, Service Providers, Equipment Suppliers, and Public Safety should consider performing targeted sweeps of critical infrastructures and network operations centers for listening devices when suspicion warrants.
13-10-5163Network Operators, Service Providers, Equipment Suppliers, Property Managers, and Public Safety should consider establishing procedures for security video equipment and recording, (e.g., storage, accurate time/date stamping, privacy protection, and regular operational performance checks).
13-10-5165Network Operators, Service Providers, and Equipment Suppliers should ensure that teleworkers have the equipment and support necessary to secure their computing platforms and systems at an equivalent level of those within company office facilities (e.g., Security software, firewalls and secure documents storage).
13-10-5166Equipment Suppliers should wherever feasible, isolate R&D and software manufacturing of Network Elements from general office systems to prevent unauthorized access.
13-10-5167Network Operators, Service Providers, and Equipment Suppliers should provide secured methods, both physical and electronic, for the internal distribution of software development and production materials.
13-10-5169Network Operators, Service Providers, and Equipment Suppliers should establish and implement an information protection process to control and manage the distribution of critical R&D documentation and the revisions thereto (e.g., serialize physical and electronic documentation to maintain audit trails).
13-10-5171Equipment Suppliers should design network equipment to reduce the likelihood of malfunction due to failure of the connected devices (i.e. in order to reduce the potential for cascade failures; software or system damage).
