Govt' Earns 'C' on Computer Security Report Card
blog.washingtonpost.com The federal government earned an overall grade of "C" for securing its computer systems and networks from cyber attack last year, a slight improvement from the "C-minus" mark the government was given in 2006.
The report cards were issued today by Rep. Tom Davis of Virginia, the ranking Republican on the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform.
Nine agencies earned failing grades for 2007, including the departments of Agriculture, Commerce, Defense, Interior, Labor, Transportation, Treasury, Veterans Affairs, as well as the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. The grades are based on data submitted by the agencies and agency inspector generals to the White House for fiscal year 2007.
