SENATE APPROVES PLAN TO BEEF UP COMPUTER SECURITY

Federal agency heads must ensure that their information systems are
secure under a provision of the fiscal 2001 defense authorization bill
that gained Senate approval late last week.
The provision, S. 1993, co-sponsored by Sens. Fred Thompson, R-Tenn.,
and Joseph Lieberman, D-Conn., provides a managerial framework for
protecting federal computer records from hackers, cyberterrorists, and
accidental or careless unauthorized disclosure. Thompson has called
agencies' current method of dealing with such problems a "band-aid
approach."
"Effective computer security starts with effective management and this
legislation will help federal agencies get a handle on managing their
computer security efforts," Thompson said.
Under the bill, the executive branch must set up a chain of command
and
responsibility for protecting computer records, stretching from the
director of the Office and Management and Budget at the top to
individual departments and agencies below. The General Accounting
Office
is charged with annual oversight of IT security at all federal
agencies.
