Critical infrastructure sector owners and operators are being called upon for a study to define and validate current and future positioning, navigation, and timing (PNT) requirements for critical infrastructure. Initial focus is upon the power and wireless communications infrastructure.
FINALLY or shall I say AGAIN! Continuity of timing for networks and SCADA devices is everything. Time is the bridge between EW and Cyber, and is an attribute to both domains. I am not totally sure why this needs to be another study. A study is a pimple on the rump of progress and a major classified DHS study in 2009 highlighted major vulnerabilities in power, transportation, communications and finance. If they are hoping that another study will make the problem go away, it will be a sad mistake.
