Weaknesses in info. security (IS) are a widespread problem that can have serious consequences -- such as intrusions by malicious users, compromised networks, and the theft of intellectual property and personally identifiable info. -- and has identified IS as a governmentwide high-risk issue since 1997. Concerned by reports of significant vulnerabilities in fed. computer systems, Congress passed the Fed. IS Mgmt. Act of 2002 (FISMA), which authorized and strengthened IS program, evaluation, and reporting requirements for fed. agencies. This report evaluates: (1) the adequacy and effectiveness of agencies' IS policies and practices; and (2) fed. agencies' implementation of FISMA requirements. Includes recommendations. Illustrations.

The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) has encountered numerous challenges in managing its information technology (IT) and securing its information systems. In October 2005, the department initiated a realignment of its IT program to provide greater authority and accountability over its resources. The May 2006 security incident highlighted the need for additional actions to secure personal information maintained in the department's systems. In this testimony, GAO discusses its recent reporting on VA's realignment effort as well as actions to improve security over its information systems. To prepare this testimony, GAO reviewed its past work on the realignment and on information security, and it updated and supplemented its analysis with interviews of VA officials.
