The report didn\u2019t go into specific detail about the breaches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe believe when examined in total that the DoL incident reporting program, while not perfect, is certainly operating at an acceptable level and that while the few deficiencies are fairly noted, they do not rise to the level of a reportable finding,\u201d the CIO officials wrote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The IG report, mandated by the Federal Information Security Modernization Act of 2014, found several other cybersecurity shortfalls that hampered Labor\u2019s cybersecurity improvement efforts in fiscal 2019. Aside from the failure to report breaches in a timely fashion, the IG found that Labor didn\u2019t have performance metrics to evaluate different aspects of their cybersecurity posture in several areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Labor didn\u2019t implement performance metrics for risk management, configuration management, identity and access management, and contingency planning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Without proper performance metrics the agency risks implementing ineffective controls that could harm the integrity of Labor\u2019s data, lead to data loss or a failure to detect unauthorized access, the IG wrote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The IG found that the department didn\u2019t implement necessary tools in specific network areas to protect itself against cyber incidents. In the areas of risk management, configuration management, and identity and access controls, Labor didn\u2019t improve its scores because of a failure to implement available cybersecurity tools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><b>\u201c<\/b>DOL\u2019s Office of Chief Information Officer (OCIO) was unable to provide timelines and plans for any of the information security tools that were not fully implemented, indicating the utilization of these tools was not properly managed,\u201d the IG wrote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The CIO\u2019s office also poorly evaluated its own performance. Department management evaluate themselves on the 59 metrics and then compare with the inspector general. The IG and management didn\u2019t agree on the score in 36 of the 59 areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe better the accuracy of OCIO\u2019s self-assessment, the more effective OCIO will be at addressing unresolved issues in other domain areas,\u201d the IG wrote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There is some good news in the report for the agency. Just three out of the 59 evaluated metrics trended down, while 21 trended up from FY18 to FY19. The other 35 remained the same. The department\u2019s most successful category was security training, which was responsible for six of the 21 upward trending scores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The risk management category contained several differences between the IG and management \u2014 they disagreed on eight of 12 metrics. While the IG found that the department had implemented a risk management program, it hadn\u2019t established a plan to evaluate if it was effective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cManagement did not prioritize implementation of risk management metrics and performance monitoring to effectively manage and measure its risk management program, nor did they implement the tools they identified to support risk management tasks,\u201d the IG wrote. \u201cManagement also did not monitor that programs were maintaining appropriate documentation in order to demonstrate effective operation for several risk management control areas.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To improve, the inspector general made 20 recommendations regarding intrusion detection, implementation of access control technologies, implementing metrics and controls, and updating strategies. The department \u201cgenerally\u201d agreed with the findings.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An agency inspector general annual review of DoL cybersecurity practices found flaws
