The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has made many improvements in its information security program, according to the agency's Inspector General (IG). However, he notes in a new report that the agency still lacks "an accurate and complete system inventory." An effort is being made to create such an inventory with assistance from an outside contractor, but without an inventory in place, the IG was unable to determine whether systems have been properly certified and accredited. Read the report.
