A report published in 2019 found that eight federal agencies failed to meet even the basic cybersecurity standards and protocols. Two years later, cybersecurity at those agencies was again analyzed and the findings are — as described in the new report — “stark.”

The new report, titled “Federal Cybersecurity: America’s Data Still at Risk,” is based on recent inspector general audits. The targeted agencies are the Department of Homeland Security, Department of State, Department of Transportation, Department of Housing and Urban Development, Department of Agriculture, Department of Health and Human Services, Department of Education, and the Social Security Administration.
