BBG Watch Commentary
OIG ON BBG (FY 2017): “In particular, during FY 2017, an external auditor performing the audit on OIG’s behalf and under OIG’s direction found that BBG did not have an effective information security program.”
Here are some comments and questions from BBG Watch contributors and readers:
“Shameful.”
“Was the IT program the responsibility of Chief Information Officer/Chief Technology Officer, André Mendes?”
“Why is he now down at Radio and TV Marti right now in the Office of Cuba Broadcasting (OCB)?”
“And the … reply from the BBG CEO John F. Lansing…. Words fail me….”
“No accountability. Anywhere. A boat drifting on the sea.”
“When will this nightmare end?”
