Agency Agrees to Furnish DHS with IT Security Information
By Eric Chabrow

An audit by DHS’s Office of Inspector General also showed that several DHS agencies operated systems with classified data without proper authorization; Heartbleed bug vulnerabilities existed in several systems; and two agencies continue to use the
now-unsupported Microsoft Windows XT operating system.
