Government Security Report

The U.S. Government got their report card. 8 government agencies got failing grades. Over the last three years the agencies received D marks but this year overall the score was a C-. I just question why this is. We have more than adequate security tools available to us.

There is more than just firewalls that need to be deployed to secure computer systems. The government should have adequate anti-virus and other software to keep out spyware but there remains the vulnerability of employees with information that is afforded to them.

The government needs to regulate all information given to employees for its dissemination. That only would secure the systems significantly.
