Summary
Cloud computing provides agencies with potential opportunities to obtain IT services more efficiently; however, if not effectively implemented, it also poses cybersecurity risks. To facilitate the adoption and use of cloud services, the Office of Management and Budget and other federal agencies have issued policies and guidance on key practices that agencies are to implement to ensure the security of agency systems that leverage cloud services (i.e., cloud systems). This report evaluates the extent to which selected agencies have effectively implemented key cloud security practices. GAO is making 35 recommendations to four agencies to fully implement key cloud security practices.
