Hearing Focuses on Computer Security of Federal Agencies

A congressional subcommittee took federal agencies to task for their poor progress in securing their computer systems. During an oversight hearing on federal agencies' progress in securing their systems, members of the House Committee on Government Reform's Subcommittee on Technology, Information Policy, Intergovernmental Relations, and the Census noted a measured improvement in the computer security of 24 agencies but chastised the groups for moving too slow.
