A detailed look into the state of Kentucky’s security self-assessment.

From the Resource:

“The first vulnerability assessment performed by Kentucky’s Auditor of Public Accounts tested the security of the Commonwealth’s accounting and reporting system in June 2000. Within minutes, auditors were able to gain administrator control over 14 of 17 system servers. Thus began three years of random, surprise vulnerability tests in 16 state government cabinets and agencies.”
