The department was also working to increase coordination between its enterprise risk-management team and cybersecurity team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The GAO also found in July that the Department of the Interior hadn\u2019t fully established its enterprise risk-management (ERM) structure or laid out a plan to coordinate cybersecurity risk management with the ERM team. Interior officials told the GAO in January that the department plans to complete the effort by July 31, 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cGiven the increasing number and sophistication of cyber threats facing federal agencies, it is critical that agencies be well positioned to make consistent, informed, risk-based decisions in protecting their systems and information against these threats,\u201d GAO officials wrote to the Department of the Interior. \u201cThe inconsistent establishment of cybersecurity risk management practices can be partially attributed to challenges agencies identify in establishing and implementing their cybersecurity risk management programs.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Department of Education, meanwhile, updated its cybersecurity risk-management framework in March to include its risk appetite and tolerance. However, the GAO found, the updated framework doesn\u2019t define \u201cin detail\u201d acceptable risk response strategies and how they are selected. The department told the GAO this would be updated by Aug. 21.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The State Department also hadn\u2019t created a coordination process between its cybersecurity risk-management and enterprise risk-management functions. The department told the GAO that coordination does occur, though it was unable to produce evidence. The GAO said the department is working to update policy and procedures, but there was no concrete timeline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the both the State Department and USDA, the GAO found they weren\u2019t adequately labeling appropriate codes in IT and cyber-related jobs. The GAO recommended to both agencies that they implement the National Initiative for Cybersecurity Education\u2019s work role codes that would more reliably identify agencies\u2019 critical workforce needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">USDA told the GAO it plans to complete the work by the fall, while the State Department is \u201creviewing\u201d its policies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAssigning work roles that are inconsistent with IT, cybersecurity, and cyber-related positions diminishes the reliability of the information State needs to improve workforce planning,\u201d the GAO wrote to the State Department.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New reports from the Government Accountability Office detail the current status of
