Congress wants answers from federal agencies on how a potentially dire breach to Juniper Networks’ firewalls could be affecting federal networks.
The bipartisan leadership of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee has sent letters to the heads of major agencies asking them to produce any evidence that their agencies used the compromised Juniper products. Lawmakers also want to know how agencies discovered any Juniper-related vulnerabilities on their networks; what remedial steps the agencies took, including applying the software patch issued by Juniper; and what version of the company’s operating system the agencies were using.
