The GAO report about FBI network security illustrates that the FBI “underestimates the insider risk,” according to Congressman James Sensenbrenner, who also said that the FBI is “ignoring the sad lessons of the past.” Sensenbrenner wants “to see the FBI Director hold someone accountable for this indifference to network security,” while the report outlines specific security flaws to be fixed.<\/p>\n
A report issued by the U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) at the end of last month strongly criticizes the efforts by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) to protect “the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of law enforcement and investigative information” on its new Trilogy data network.
\nThe GAO listed seven specific flaws in the FBI’s handling of data and maintenance of its new network, and concluded that, “Taken collectively, these weaknesses place sensitive information transmitted on the network at increased risk of unauthorized disclosure or modification, and could result in a disruption of service.”<\/p>\n
