February 17, Washington Technology — IG: DHS intel systems lack information security controls. The Department of Homeland Security cannot yet guarantee that its top−secret intelligence systems are out of reach from hackers, according to a new report from the department’s inspector general, Richard Skinner. Based on a review of the department’s classified intelligence IT systems conducted from May to September 2005, the IG expressed major concern with the management structure overseeing its intelligence systems as they relate to inventory, certification and accreditation, incident detection and response, and information security training and awareness. DHS officials agreed with the recommendations and have begun taking action to address the issues, the report said.
