NASA Struggles to Fix Network Security Holes

Baseline Magazine is carrying an eye opening article on NASA, and its struggle to get a handle on securing its systems. It is eye opening because it is all about people, and not necessarily about security or the agency itself. It makes me wonder just how they manage to eventually coordinate to get spacecrafts launched and do all the wonderful things they've done. The article describes a decentralized agency, with fragmented goals and managers who, when it really comes down to it, are just trying to protect their turf -- even while recognizing the bigger problems.
