The US Marine Corps, the Navy, and the Air Force are not keeping track of their software inventories, according to a report released today by the US Department of Defense Inspector General (DOD IG).

DOD IG auditors raised the concern that this leads to situations where US military services are underutilizing their software systems, and are unaware of all their true capabilities.
But above all, auditors said that the lack of an up-to-date software inventory leads to cyber-security risks that come from not knowing if all software was patched against recent vulnerabilities.

"The DoD and its Components lack visibility over their assets and, therefore, are unable to determine the extent of existing vulnerabilities that could impact operations if information processed, stored, or transmitted by software applications is compromised," the report said.
