This security policy is a weakness because today technologies are changing every few week and with that new security threats are knocking the doors every day. Evaluating all firewalls and router rules sets every two years does not provide the realistic and attainable security goals. The company changes business processes and policies according to new market trends, government rules and regulations, and other competitive related reasons. The same way with new threats and new technological upgrades, all firewalls and router rules sets should be evaluated from time to time as necessary (InstantSecurityPolicy.com).

This proposal is part of the President’s “skinny budget” that was introduced to Congress a few months ago. The privatization plan is primarily based on the Congressman and chairman of the House Transportation and infrastructure Committee Bill Shuster’s legislation proposal, which had been overlooked by the previous administration. Shifting the responsibility to private non-profit airline companies is challenging considering that the Air Traffic control system has been under the federal Government’s responsibility since the 1930s.
