Census Gambles on Shorter Cybersecurity Testing for 2020 Count
NextGov: The Census Bureau is behind schedule building and testing the technology it needs to count the population in 2020, and experts worry rushing the rollout of those IT systems will leave their cybersecurity below par.
The Government Accountability Office reports the bureau has fully tested only eight of the 44 IT systems involved in its 2018 end-to-end test, the last trial run for the decennial count. The congressional watchdog also found 14 of the 44 technologies are still in the development stages, and four of those, including the fraud detection system, had no functionality as of April.
