whitepaper Winning the Next Leg of the IT Compliance Race2006-09-08 01:00:28 Symantec
  Through this webcast, the viewer will learn how to identify the key processes that affect IT compliance. The webcast shows how to build a governance structure to manage those processes and how to use the controls that have already been developed and implemented to support that governance.   
whitepaper IT Systems Validation for SOx and Regulatory Compliance: Importance of Information Systems Audit and Validation2006-09-01 01:00:13 MetricStream
  Information technology has become a core enabler of business processes within the organizations today. As a result, companies are required to audit and validate their relevant IT systems to ensure that their business processes and underlying records comply with regulations such as the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 or Healthcare Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) or 21 CFR Part 11(FDA). This paper defines an "Easy-to-implement" framework for auditing and validating IT systems for regulatory compliance. It also identifies a best practice which calls for IT organizations and software vendors to proactively audit their software development and implementation processes on an ongoing basis to identify and correct any systemic issues to lower the cost of compliance.

whitepaper Complying with HIPAA's Security Rule: Maintaining Security of ePHI over E-Communications2006-08-28 13:06:44 Proofpoint
  While compliance dates for various HIPAA rules have past, many healthcare related organizations are still in process with respect to full Security Rule compliance.

In this Proofpoint on-demand webinar Proofpoint security expert Sean Wilcox and HIPAA security expert, Barry Johnson from IGXGlobal, discuss how organizations can maintain the privacy and security of electronic protected health information (ePHI) over e-communications (i.e., SMTP, HTTP and FTP protocols).

View this webinar from Proofpoint to learn:

  • How to quickly assess the risk of ePHI leaving your organization over e-communications.
  • How to accurately detect and differentiate between ePHI and "de-identified" health information.
  • Top technical requirements for effectively enforcing your policy and complying with the HIPAA Security Rule.
  • Lessons learned from real implementations—from risk assessment to automated policy enforcement.

   
whitepaper Facilitating a Healthy and Secure Hospital Network With a Comprehensive Symantec Solution2006-08-25 01:00:13 Symantec
  A major Ohio hospital network turned the need for HIPAA compliance into an opportunity to get a complete network security assessment from Symantec Consulting Services. As a result of this assessment, Kettering Medical Center Network implemented a broad suite of Symantec security solutions which has resulted in greatly enhanced security. The solution is also saving $218,000 annually in staff time for security monitoring and repairs, and has freed IT staff to develop an application that enables medical professionals to sign on to the network more simply wherever their patients are located. This application will save as many as 1,500 staff hours per day, enabling these providers to provide more and higher quality care to patients.   
whitepaper PACS and NAS - A Strategic Fit2006-08-17 12:13:11 Agami Systems
  The challenge of handling large volumes of patient-related data and images has now outgrown traditional ways of dealing with such information. Sharing, retrieving, saving, and viewing high-resolution medical images (MRIs, X-rays, etc) in conjunction with corresponding patient information accurately and reliably every time demands technology like Picture Archive Communication System (PACS).

PACS serves as a constantly growing and evolving repository for medical images and patient information. Medical information can easily be stored, recalled, displayed, manipulated and printed digitally, greatly improving the efficiency of imaging departments. However, like most other applications designed for such specific purposes, PACS needs to be implemented effectively. Patient information requirements, such as storage, security, and retrieval should be determined in advance and matched with the most appropriate storage methods. Thus, health professionals have had electronic storage and access to medical diagnostic images, but the sheer volume of image data, in terms of generated images and size of image files, has always overloaded the capabilities of PACS. Not enough space and slow access has especially been a problem in long-term, large storage of images.

Image compression techniques have greatly enhanced the performance of PACS, substantially decreasing transmission times and storage requirements while permitting shorter retrieval times. This, coupled with a new generation NAS (Network Attached Storage), can provide a solid foundation for protecting, managing, and sharing individually identifiable health information for healthcare organizations.

Better performance at lower costs - that's the maxim that drives the new generation NAS devices. In that respect, they far outperform existing NAS devices. The total cost of ownership is now down to nearly one-tenth of legacy NAS devices. Network-efficient, File System Replication (FSR) technology, now sta 		  
whitepaper On-demand Vulnerability Management2006-10-28 11:14:19 Qualys
  Government and industry regulations, along with mounting security threats, are causing corporations to consider continual self-audits. These drive down costs, help focus remediation efforts and improve your overall security posture. Learn how to start your own self-auditing process by setting goals and answering key questions about your infrastructure. This last podcast in a four-part series examines what to look for in a self-auditing solution, how to use vulnerability management to ease the pain, and why your software solution really matters.

whitepaper Don't Dread that Network Audit - Compliance with Government Regulation and Industry Standards2006-10-28 11:16:57 Qualys
  Digital crime incidents are rising rapidly as criminals become ever more sophisticated and ambitious. Organized crime is now taking an active role in electronic thefts. This leaves businesses with mounting financial losses and the additional cost of keeping perpetrators at bay. Security administrators need to be more proactive about preventing attacks, making vulnerability assessments a crucial tool in their portfolio.

whitepaper Achieving Automated Compliance2006-08-09 12:22:09 BigFix
  In this new issue of BigFix's "IT Executive Briefings," you'll learn how a security configuration management solution that provides real-time visibility into thousands of PCs, laptops, and servers can help today's distributed enterprises automate their regulatory compliance efforts. The paper includes a reprint of Gartner's January 2006 RAS Core Research Note, "The Chief Information Security Officer's Guide to Compliance," which offers keen insights into the reasons why compliance is largely "a negotiation with the auditor" and why auditors expect your controls to be organized, well-documented, and defensible.
