Homeland department gets 'F' for computer security

Dec 9, 2003 5:37PM PST

Must do better...

US federal departments and agencies are showing some improvement in protecting their computer networks, but many - including the Department of Homeland Security - are failing, according to a US government report released on Tuesday.

The report, prepared for the House of Representatives' Committee on Government Reform, found that almost all agencies had improved their computer-security grade since last year. However, several key federal departments continued to fail to adequately protect their networks and earned an "F."
