Telecommunications and ICT networks face an increasingly complex and dynamic threat landscape. Emerging technologies, evolving adversary capabilities, and growing ecosystem interdependencies are expanding risk and increasing the urgency for stronger cyber resilience.
In this environment, greater coordination, improved visibility, and shared industry action are essential to identify risks earlier and enable more effective, sector-wide response.
ATIS Cybersecurity Group
The ATIS Cybersecurity Group serves as a coordination point for industry action to identify, evaluate, and address cybersecurity challenges across telecommunications and ICT networks.
The group promotes shared awareness of cross-cutting security issues, highlights emerging risks and gaps, and aligns collaboration across ATIS initiatives to strengthen cybersecurity outcomes—without duplicating existing efforts.
Mission
The ATIS Cybersecurity Group works to:
- Support trusted and resilient telecommunications networks
- Enable industry collaboration on shared cybersecurity challenges
- Improve visibility and understanding of cross-cutting security issues
- Facilitate informed engagement across industry and government stakeholders
Scope of Work
The group focuses on:
- Identify telecom-relevant cybersecurity challenges of shared concern
- Surface emerging risks, threats, and gaps affecting network resilience
- Improve coordination and shared awareness across ATIS initiatives
- Support information exchange and collaboration aligned with critical-infrastructure priorities
- Provide input and recommendations to inform related ATIS work Working Structure and Reporting
Impact
Through this work, the ATIS Cybersecurity Group provides a forum to examine emerging issues, connect security priorities across initiatives, and focus industry attention where it is most needed.
By strengthening coordination and shared understanding, the group contributes to a more resilient and secure telecommunications ecosystem.
