The FAA Air Traffic Organization's System Operations Security Office

摘要

On the morning of september 11, 2001, when it became apparent the United States was being attacked by terrorists, the FAA established a conference call among air traffic control facilities, the Air Traffic Control System Command Center, and the Northeast Air Defense Sector. This call was quickly expanded in the immediate aftermath of the attacks to include other key national defense, homeland security, and law enforcement participants, including the Federal Bureau of Investigation. This call remains ongoing and was transformed into what is now called the Domestic Events Network (DEN), a crucial aviation security coordination platform in which more than 170 governmental nodes and, as needed, a number of key operators currently participate.
