And with billions of internet-connected devices expected to flood government facilities in the years ahead, he said, the situation is only going to get worse.
“[With] those legacy systems, every time you patch, you add a new vulnerability,” Sen. Mark Warner, D-Va., said Thursday on a panel hosted by The Atlantic.
