Aliya Sternstein writes the Department of Homeland Security, which oversees the cyber surveillance tool, did not disclose the reasons for its decision to restrict the audit report on the Einstein 3 Accelerated system.
GAO and Johnson, chairman of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, said they expect DHS to release a redacted version of the document in early 2016.
The report âdoes reaffirm some concerns about Einstein that the senator has been raising,â a committee aide told Nextgov.
Johnson and Sen. Tom Carper (D-Del.) introduced a bill in July that seeks to authorize DHS to push for the governmentwide implementation of the cyber defense platform.
