Began tracking FISMA Plan of Action and Milestones tasks on a weekly basis and continued to work with auditors on the FISMA
report as the deadline was postponed by OMB due to new reporting requirements. To minimize vulnerabilities from further virus
attacks, servers were established at Headquarters, the regions, and field offices to download and apply Microsoft patches,
all PCs and servers were upgraded to the Symantec latest antivirus client version, and servers were programmed to push virus
definition files to all PCs and servers on a daily basis. Potential disaster recovery sites were visited and we obtained a
commitment from one site to host MSPB servers. Other activities included the Networx transition and its associated statement
