		<description><![CDATA[If looking for a gold mine of sensitive information, the IRS appears to be the place to find it.  When individuals file their returns, the expectation is that it is well protected by the United States Government.  Unfortunately, the Government Accountability Office (GAO) has found a pattern of weakness in how the IRS protects our [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A recent eWeek article &#8220;Cyber-security Hurts Federal Government Productivity, Survey Says&#8221; clearly demonstrates the significant security issues related to perception and communication.   There seems to be a significant disconnect between what is thought to be needed to perform an agency&#8217;s mission and doing so without compromising computer systems. &#8220;Surveyed federal executives believe that cyber-security [...]]]></description>
