However, for a department such as the Interior, it is no surprise they are up a bit. Because of past failures, I believe they are still, as a department, not allowed onto the Internet except through frame-relay connections to the resources they absolutely need...otherwise they were put on probation.<br /><br />You bet that eliminates a good chunk of risk, so might influence the score a bit.<br /><br />Still interesting though.<br /><br />I can say from dealings with NRC and the DOT, I am not surprised by those higher grades...they seem to be pretty concious of security. However, it is almost disturbing to see such poor grades by the DOD and DHS.<br />-LonerVampAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
