TIA said its TR-42.1 Engineering Committee on Commercial Building Telecommunications Cabling is developing an American National Standards Institute-accredited standard for physical network security for ICT networks that it believes will also address telecom networks’ cybersecurity concerns. The standard, TIA-5017, will cover the security of telecom cables and other physical infrastructure by consolidating existing security measures and new guidelines into one document, TIA said. The standard will also incorporate an integrated security approach that includes recent developments in automated administration management that will help locate unauthorized connections, TIA said.
