<p style="font-size:xx-small;">APAn obscure little State Department agency whose work is called "critical
to the Department's information security posture" has been in a shambles
for years, and is still in chaos, according to an audit report
by the department's inspector general released yesterday.As one result of
all the bumbling and inaction, the security checks that the agency is
supposed to perform and subsequent approvals for use that it is supposed
to bestow every three years on 36 of those State Department systems
have lapsed entirely, meaning that they are operating, in effect, illegally.Some
of the lapses have gone on for two years; in at least
a couple of cases involving information systems that the audit calls "primary
general support systems," the lapses have gone on since 2007.One of the
systems that is operating without a current license, known as iPost, was
given an award two years ago for "significantly improving the effectiveness
of the nation's cyber security." According to the inspector general's report,
auditors couldn't find any documentation to back up how the award-winning
system was created or maintained, nor any source code for the information
it was supposed to track.There is more -- much more -- concerning
the 22-person agency, known as the Office of Information Assurance of the
State Department's Bureau of Information Resource Management (IRM/IA), which
among other things certifies the security status of more than 170 information
systems i
rations to
determine what information assurance and security functions they are required
to perform or are currently handling."Or, to put it even more bluntly,
the inspector general's auditing team "could not validate whether IRM/IA
has not been able to meet priorities since the office has not
defined any priorities."In a bid to correct the fiasco, the inspectors has
issued 32 recommendations, including the requirement that IRM/IA "participate
regularly" in department-wide meetings and "share learned information from
such meetings with its staff," along with a strong hint that other
functions might be hived off to others -- who happen to be
doing some of them anyway.The State Department said in its statement, in
response to the report: "The Department takes the OIG feedback seriously
and is committed to addressing the recommendations and the concerns that
led to the assessment.Mr. William G. Lay was appointed to the position
of Deputy Chief Information Officer for Information Assurance and Chief
Information Security Officer for the U.S. Department of State in late 2012."George
