Sector: Improving Implementation of Cybersecurity Initiatives
Issue: Federal agencies are increasingly using cloud computing services. Cloud computing offers benefits but also poses cybersecurity risks. Office of Management and Budget (OMB) requires agencies to use the Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program to authorize their use of cloud services. The 4 case study agencies GAO looked at, didn’t fully implement key elements of the authorization process. OMB didn’t monitor use of the program.
