Keith’s note: According to this GAO report: Chief Information Officer Open Recommendations: National Aeronautics and Space Administration: “NASA needs to take additional steps to secure the information systems it uses to carry out its mission, including improving its risk management program.” … “we recommended that the agency develop an implementation plan with time frames to update its spacecraft acquisition policies and standards to incorporate essential controls required to protect against cyber threats.” “NASA needs to better manage and track its IT resources” “In addition to GAO’s recommendations, the NASA Inspector General also has multiple open recommendations in the area of cybersecurity.”
