US OIG Audit – the Issue §� NASA relies on a series of computer networks to carry out its various missions, including controlling spacecraft like the International Space Station and conducting science missions like the Hubble Telescope. Therefore, it is imperative that NASA protect its computer networks from cyber attacks that could disrupt operations or result in the loss of sensitive data. In this audit, we evaluated whether NASA protected information technology (IT) assets on its Agency-‐wide mission computer network from Internet-‐ based cyber attacks. Specifically, we assessed whether NASA adequately protected these IT assets from Internet-‐ based attacks by regularly assessing risks and identifying and mitigating vulnerabilities. We also reviewed internal controls as appropriate.
US OIG Audit – the Results §� We found that computer servers on NASA’s Agency-‐wide mission network had high-‐risk vulnerabilities that were exploitable from the Internet. Specifically, six computer servers associated with IT assets that control spacecraft and contain critical data had vulnerabilities that would allow a remote attacker to take control of or render them unavailable. Moreover, once inside the Agency-‐ wide mission network, the attacker could use the compromised computers to exploit other weaknesses we identified, a situation that could severely degrade or cripple NASA’s operations. We also found network servers that revealed encryption keys, encrypted passwords, and user account information to potential attackers. These data are sensitive and provide attackers additional ways to gain unauthorized access to NASA networks. These deficiencies occurred because NASA had not fully assessed and mitigated risks to its Agency-‐wide mission network and was slow to assign responsibility for IT security oversight to ensure the network was adequately protected.
