From Nextgov.com: Compliance focus is hampering cybersecurity, critics say
Federal officials on Thursday took up a long-standing and simmering debate over how the government protects its computer networks, arguing the Office of Management and Budget should focus less on complying with cybersecurity processes as they have done for years and more on monitoring and conducting tests to learn how their systems withstand attempts to break in.
COMMENTS
- The Federal can barely cover current threats to their system as we speak. Now you want them to analyze new threats. OMB has nothing do with compliance with processes as it does not control anything. OMB is a check and balance at best is doing a poor job at this point as it accepts reports at face value and does not understand the process as it is. Robert Edwards Posted November 2, 2009 6:55 AM
