What H.R. 1709 does
H.R. 1709, the Understanding Cybersecurity of Mobile Networks Act, would require the National Telecommunications and Information Administration to study and report on how secure mobile service networks are, and how vulnerable they and mobile devices are to cyberattacks and surveillance by adversaries.
The report would assess how far mobile providers have fixed certain vulnerabilities, how far they use cybersecurity best practices and risk assessment frameworks, and how common and effective encryption and authentication techniques are.
