2、ting Computer System Security Plans and Training Especially for System AdministratorsLesson(s) Learned: NASA has initiated a well-founded, broadly encompassing computer security program to ensure that its computer systems are protected from hostile attacks, but development of security plans for all
3、systems is lagging. Also, the function of Computer Security Officer has typically been added to the responsibilities of systems administrators.Recommendation(s): 16a. Complete and maintain security plans for all appropriate computer systems and ensure that the computer security program is sustaining
4、.16b. Ensure that computer systems administrators are properly trained in computer security.Evidence of Recurrence Control Effectiveness: 16a. Code AO - Concur: We concur with the ASAP recommendation. Progress since the ASAP review consistent with the recommendation is shown below:Current Status of

6、 Management Attention) Systems have been completed, including authorization to operate; 97 percent of SMA Systems have all protective measures completed as stipulated in their plans; three systems have completed interim measures that give adequate security. SMA Systems are NASAs most critical system
7、s.a71 Sustainability of Computer Security Program: In FY 1999, NASA spent $28 million on IT security programs and measures. That amount has more than tripled in FY 2000 as NASA introduced an aggressive, Agency-wide program that stressed closer monitoring, improved reporting, expanded training, and b
8、etter technology. The FY 2000 budget of $91 million targeted the Space Flight and Earth Science Enterprises for particular emphasis, with those two business units receiving 80 percent of the ITS budget.Future Computer Security Plans for Computer Systems and Plans for Ensuring Sustainability of the C
