Audit Finds Security Dept. Is Lacking Disaster Backups
By ERIC LIPTON
Published: June 9, 2005
WASHINGTON, June 8 - In a nationwide advertising blitz, the Homeland
Security Department has urged businesses and families to "Get Ready Now"
for potential terror attacks or other disasters. But an internal audit
released on Wednesday concluded that the department had fundamentally
failed to follow its own advice.
Computer systems at 19 department sites that served agencies like the
Transportation Security Administration, Customs and Border Protection
and
the Coast Guard had no functioning backups or relied on obviously
deficient or incomplete backups, the report by the inspector general of
the department said. Even the Federal Emergency Management Agency, which
is in charge of disaster recovery, was unprepared, the report said.
