In testimony before the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform's Subcommittee on Government Management, Organization, and Procurement, GAO responds to a request to describe 1) cyber threats to federal information systems and cyber-based critical infrastructures and 2) control deficiencies that make these systems and infrastructures vulnerable to those threats. To do so, GAO relied on its previous reports and reviewed agency and inspectors general reports on information security.
