CBP failed to follow basic security practices to protect financial systems - Nextgov: "The Customs and Border Patrol bureau failed to properly set computer controls that allow only authorized users to view financial data, and to certify networks complied with security standards, according to an audit released on Wednesday by the Homeland Security Department's inspector general.
A number of problems the inspector general found in 2008 still were not fixed in fiscal 2009, according to the audit, which analyzed CBP's financial systems and was conducted by the accounting firm KPMG.
'Although we noted improvement, CBP still faces challenges related to the merging of numerous IT functions, controls, processes and organizational resource shortages,' the report stated."
