19.06.2006

Daniel Galik, chief of mission assurance and security services at the IRS, said at the June 8 hearing that the tax agency is "aggressively reviewing" information security processes after an employee lost a laptop. He added that the agency is looking for security technologies that will enable automatic encryption of all data on its laptops. The goal, he said, is to fully deploy such technologies within six months.
