Vivek Kundra, Recovery.gov Audit, Cloud Computing
The hosts discuss a GAO audit of Recovery.gov that found the $18 million website used outdated data. They critique Federal CIO Vivek Kundra's "cloud" initiatives and the government's attempt to promote apps through portals like apps.gov.
Apps.gov and Federal Cloud Computing Security Risks
The federal government has launched Apps.gov, a storefront for cloud computing services led by Federal CIO Vivek Kundra. The initiative aims to centralize IT infrastructure, but critics warn of massive security risks involving sensitive data like Social Security numbers and tax records. A previous security breach in Virginia involving Kundra's associates is cited as a warning of potential future fiascos in government cloud adoption.
