NASA infosec again falls short of required US government standard
Level 4 – Managed and Measurable – is considered the benchmark for an effective infosec program. As the chart below shows, NASA did not reach that level for any of the nine capabilities measured, across the period from October 1, 2021, through September 30, 2022.The audit attributes NASA's poor rating to the agency just not having the tools or data to understand the disposition and state of its IT infrastructure, and to lacking the processes to frame or respond to risks.
Among the document's findings is that NASA can't identify and record all the network devices it operates. Manual processes were adopted to sort that out. The agency hasn't completed a cybersecurity workforce assessment since 2016 so is not well placed to understand if it has the skills needed to defend itself properly.
The organization has not implemented recommended data protection and privacy standards so that regime has blind spots. Multi-factor authentication is not universal. The supply chain risk management regime is not yet mature. While the agency's incident response processes are mature,"additional controls and processes need to be designed and implemented" for it to score a Level 4 rating.
