4 Sir, did you know that you could save time by doing this online?

5 Understand Your Motivation Desire to be compliant Avoid fines Avoid fines Desire to be secure Reduce risk of breach Reduce possibility of bad publicity Reduce loss of public trust

6 Privacy vs. Security Healthcare entities haven t separated Security/Privacy regulation, and often leave many Security Rule regulations unfulfilled Privacy Rule compliance doesn t extend to Security Rule compliance To be truly HIPAA compliant, must comply with both aspects.

7 Policy vs. Implementation Common to conglomerate HIPAA policies and implementation Healthcare religiously generates Privacy Rule policies,, but few implement principles A policy doesn t cover business from compromise, but through h implementation, you stand a fair chance against data thieves

8 The Unfortunate Reality IT specialists typically: Don t fulfill HIPAA requirements for a business Won t pay for a compromise Don t suffer brand damage if a business is compromised o Risk and liability rest entirely upon the CE

13 Two Types of Organizations Those that have been hacked Those that don t know they ve been hacked

14 We Don t Know We ve Been Breached Lack of Current anti-malware Intrusion detection systems Data loss prevention systems File integrity monitoring systems Centralized logging and alerting Security specific training for IT staff

16 Attack Types Defacements Most frequent Stealing server bandwidth Porn websites, launching attacks Corporate espionage DNS poisoning (redirection) Denial of service Spyware Phishing Malware Theft, loss & misuse of data Costly Loss of trust

21 Today s Hack Target Firewall Web server Hacker Attacking through a firewall to the web server. We only use the private network today to avoid the possibility of putting a vulnerable server on the public Internet.

22 For demonstration purposes, we performed a scan on our target computer. This is the summary page indicating a failed PCI compliance status, and providing a chart of

23 For our demonstration today, if we ve selected this vulnerability that allows anyone to execute commands on the target computer, we need to further research the specific bug. To do this, we ll take thecve identifier or the BugTrac ID (BID) numberof 1806 andsearch the web for more information.

24 A popular site for security information is SecurityFocus. Here we see our bug is listed and that many devices were known to be vulnerable.
