Each state’s or territory’s plan includes key information about FirstNetBased on the State Plan, the

state/territory governor can:

OPT-IN

FirstNet and AT&T will deploy, maintain and

operate the state/territory Radio Access

Network (RAN) at no cost to the state for 25

years. Once a state/territory opts in, FirstNet

services will be available to public safety

agencies and personnel in that state or

territory.

OPT-OUT

Opt-out means the state/territory is responsible

for deployment, operation, maintenance, and

improvement of a public safety RAN in that

state/territory – including costs and risks.

States and territories receive a customized, digital State Plan outlining how the FirstNet network will be deployed in the state or territory

How We Got To Where We Are

15

The FirstNet Network Is UniqueCombination of Wireless, Government, Public Safety, Information Technology, Public Private Partnership and to some extent Critical Infrastructure

Each is a unique domain within the practice of security

Cybersecurity vs SecurityCyber, physical, critical infrastructure and …

The FirstNet Network Requires all practices to be considered

Acquisition FlexibilityStatement of Objectives acquisition provided the greatest flexibility for offerors with out requirements

Appendix J-10 CybersecurityNot Requirements but areas that must be considered in any security solution for the FirstNet Network


FirstNet Network Cyber Security Solution

16

FirstNet has partnered with AT&T which has one of the world’s most experienced telecommunications cybersecurity teams. Highly reliable, available , and resilient network and security solution

End to end encryption of user communications and data both at rest and in transit

Multi-Layer Security from apps to devices to Radio Access and Core Networks

Full and transparent protection for specialized data types including HIPAA, CJIS, PCI

The Nationwide Public Safety Broadband Network is based on 3GPP Release 12 which has a long and trusted history of network access controls 3GPP Network Access Control is further enhanced by ICAM for applications and services as well as applications security

FirstNet relies on its partner AT&T to bring best of breed network equipment and submit those elements and solutions to their rigorous evaluation/certification process which includes very stringent supply chain risk management requirements ISO certified

Proven results

Consistent and standardized methods for both evaluation and certification

FirstNet will utilize J-10 Cybersecurity to evaluation AT&T’s cybersecurity program
