U.S. Congress to Grill Homeland Security on Cyber Weaknesses - UPDATE
Anne Broache writes on the C|Net News Blog:
A congressional panel that has been none too pleased about various federal agencies' responses to cyber threats plans on Wednesday to put the Department of Homeland Security's chief information officer in the hot seat.More here.
The title of the latest House of Representatives Homeland Security Committee hearing--"Hacking the Homeland: Investigating Cybersecurity Vulnerabilities at the Department of Homeland Security"--suggests another bruising may be on the horizon for CIO Scott Charbo and the oft-criticized agency chiefly responsible for overseeing the nation's cybersecurity efforts.
The event follows an April hearing that focused primarily on cyberattacks involving computers at the State and Commerce Departments.
UPDATE: 15:59 PDT: Brian Krebs has a very good overview on this topic, as well, here on Security Fix.
