Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The update follows new FCC cybersecurity requirements that took effect on September 29. These rules apply to radio and television broadcasters and cable operators who use Emergency Alert System participants. Since DASDEC devices connect to FEMA IPAWS over the internet, access control and current software are critical to facility security.
