IRS MAINFRAME NOT SECURE ENOUGH, GOVERNMENT REPORT SAYS Mark Fontecchio, News Writer The federal Government Accountability Office (GAO) has released a report detailing information security issues at the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), and among them are lax mainframe management monitoring. This isn't the first time the GAO has found issues with the IRS' data centers and mainframes. Last year the GAO found 115 weaknesses in information security at the IRS. To the agency's credit, 49 of them have been fixed. But this isn't a two-year thing. There have been information security problems at the IRS for years. http://itknowledgeexchange.techtarget.com/mainframe-blog/irs-mainframe-n ot-secure-enough-government-report-says/?track=NL-576&ad=683880&asrc=EM_ NLN_5568886&uid=279318 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This e-mail transmission may contain information that is proprietary, privileged and/or confidential and is intended exclusively for the person(s) to whom it is addressed.
