CISA Gets Leadership Role on FCC CSRIC

The reconstituted Communications Security, Reliability and Interoperability Council will be co-chaired by an official from the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency and a Verizon executive, FCC acting Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel said Tuesday. They are Billy Bob Brown, CISA executive assistant director-emergency communications, and Nasrin Rezai, Verizon chief information security officer. Other members are in this issue's personals section. Collaboration with CISA "will help advance a whole-of-government approach to security and ensure that the relevant federal expertise is informing policymaking at the FCC,” Rosenworcel said: More participation by public interest groups “means that the public and consumers also will have a voice on issues that ultimately affect their safety and security.”
