The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is undergoing a significant cloud security migration that was jeopardized by the firing of Jonathan Kamens, a key U.S. DOGE Service official, along with a mass resignation of other USDS employees. Without their involvement, the completion of the project, which aims to enhance the security of the VA.gov platform, may face considerable delays. VA press secretary Peter Kasperowicz denied that the layoffs would impact operations, but Kamens warned of potential risks to veterans' sensitive data.
Kamens highlighted concerns about the security of veterans' data, emphasizing that his departure could hinder the cloud security project and increase vulnerability to hacking threats.
Despite the VA's reassurances, experts believe that the departure of key personnel during such a critical migration phase could lead to delays affecting overall cybersecurity efforts.
