The FAA has issued an RFI to gain a better understanding of best practices and benefits associated with how the configuration, delivery, and management of specific security capabilities differs between Government-owned, Contractor-owned, Government-operated, and Contractor-operated business models. This is being released in conjunction with the FAA’s market research related to the FAA’s Enterprise Network Service (FENS) program.
