U.S. White House: OMB FY 2006 Report to Congress on Implementation of The Federal Information Security Management Act of 2002

The U.S. White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB) on March 1, 2007 released their fiscal year 2006 report on the progress of federal agencies to secure their computer and information systems.

Of note in FY 2006, U.S. Federal agencies spent $5.5 billion for information security out of an approximate total IT budget of $63 billion.  That's approximately 9 percent of all IT investments.  Although some Federal agencies have made significant progress in securing their systems, there are still many agencies and systems that need to do more to enhance their security posture. 

Glad to see our government doing more to secure their information systems.
