GAO Urges OMB to Secure Federal Internet of Things Devices
Original: Internet of Things: OMB Action Needed to Ensure Agencies Secure Their Networked Devices
The U.S. Government Accountability Office reports that federal agencies need stronger oversight of internet-connected devices and says the Office of Management and Budget must take action to ensure networked equipment across government is properly secured. The findings highlight growing concern that weakly protected IoT devices expose agencies to cyberattacks and put sensitive federal systems and data at risk.
Why now: A new GAO report warns that unsecured internet-connected devices across federal agencies pose cybersecurity risks, prompting calls for OMB intervention.
