Medhost: Case Study

One of the important part of system administration should be secure, so it is very important to understand which factors can affect security inside and outside our system. There are many key decisions that have to be made, for example, what server operating system should a system use to which

There is a mess of servers, switches, switches, and inward equipment firewalls. Each of the association's areas is working with diverse data advances and foundation IT frameworks, provisions, and databases. Different levels of IT security and access administration have been actualized and inserted inside their individual areas. The data engineering framework is maturing and numerous areas are running on antiquated fittings and programming. Additionally, the framework is woefully out-of-dated regarding fixes and overhauls which significantly expand the danger to the arrange as far as classifiedness, trustworthiness, and accessibility.

Individual users play an important role in any form of institution or organization but concerns are raised about the security. The network administrators clearly lay down a set of rules, regulations and protocols that an individual user has to agree accordingly upon which part of the resources and what class of service that the user can obtain.

Modern communications capabilities open up a world of possibilities for all types of medical practices to develop deeper connections with their patients and to manage health care remotely. The HIPAA Privacy Rule gives patients the right to obtain copies of their medical records, treatments and protected health information or PHI. These requirements go further if medical providers want to receive reimbursement from Medicare and Medicaid -- patients must be able to access their records online, download copies and transmit the information to third-party providers. Most medical practices are finding it necessary to develop patient portals where patients and physicians can interact, share information and perform important functions such as practices billing patients and accepting payments online. HIPAA 's rules require that these patient portals have strong security and privacy protections to prevent unauthorized access of these confidential PHI records.

Security shall be a high priority requirement. Since this system is intended for a wide range of users, it shall be user-friendly, requiring limited training and assistance.

In order to meet the existing MU 2 changes that went into effect in the fall of 2015, IS will need to push out 2 new releases of the Medhost application during 2016. The first release 2015 R1 will build the technical foundation for the new functionality that will be needed for future releases and provide the functionality to electronically transmit the Clinical Quality Measurements (eCQM) as required by MU Stage 2. Current plans call for this release to be installed by June 30th.

PURPOSE: This document establishes policy and responsibilities for the Awareness and Training of the MVAMC information and information systems contained at this facility. The Awareness and Training program of the Memphis VA Medical Center (MVAMC) is designed to protect all Information Technology (IT), systems, information, and telecommunications resources from unauthorized access, disclosure, modification, destruction, or misuse. The MVAMC complies with VA Directive 6500, Managing Information Security Risk: VA Information Security Program, and VA Handbook 6500, Risk Management Framework for VA Information Systems – Tier 3: VA Information Security Program, Federal IT security laws and regulations, including the Computer Security Act of

In the mid-90’s, the internet and various advanced technologies were an unescapable part of everyday life. The World Wide Web, computers, and software became common place fixtures in any business or health care related profession. While these advances increased workplace efficiency and the ease in which one could access company and patient information, it opened organizations and individuals up to security breaches and unsecured information. Overall, these developments brought to light the need for enhanced security and patient control over medical records and treatment. In 1996, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) was enacted by Congress and has become a legal standard in healthcare and method of ensuring

This case is based on issues concerning incentives for MedTech sales people. MedTech is a drug development company, that places emphasis on research, development, and marketing with the focus on anti-infective drugs. MedTech began when Doug Reynolds left his position as a university research fellow to start a new company. Doug and an associate by the name of Harold were instrumental in developing drugs for clinical trials. However, they had not taken into consideration what would be the next step if they were approved by the FDA (Federal Drug Association). So according to Harold, he said we have to make sure the sales force has the right incentive to see a lot of doctors and generate sales. Our window of opportunity for these drugs is only

Miller Inc. which is in the business of providing data collection and analytics services relies majorly on network security to keep its competitive advantage. This is because the customers that rely on the company's system trust that since there are sufficient security measures that have been ensured, they can store their data securely. Each of the functional models of the system should have sufficient security measures to ensure that complete security of the whole system architecture is achieved. The three functional modules are the backend module, services or operation module and customer access module. The major relationship between infrastructure and security comes in the role they play to ensure that the end user gets the data that they need when they need it and in the best way possible. Therefore for the three modules, there is a need to balance security with the right infrastructure.

Following is a report completed for the executives of Frist World Bank Savings and Loan, with the objective to provide information on how to secure a Linux platform using installed commands and other available open source software. Explained are the use of bastion hosts to secure architecture design as well as best practices to mitigate security risks to a Linux server using suitable software management plan. Layered secure is demonstrated as well as a described backup, recovery, and incident response plan in our Linux architecture.

X.805 security architecture is developed for systems providing end to end communications. It was developed by ITU-T SG 17 and was published in October 2003.

In this lab report I will be discussing both the Kali Virtual Image as well as the XP Security Image. I will also emphasize on three particular tools of my liking related to each image and speak in detail of what those tools do and how they might help a security practitioner in a security operations center.

The intent of this security proposal is to ensure the ongoing protection and data security for a government agency's data center. Security and access privileges will be defined at the role and department levels, with added authentication for system administrators and members of the IT staff. Role-based access to this government facility will be tracked continually and reported using real-time log reporting and analysis (Amsel, 1988). This role-based approach to managing security will provide for inclusion of authentication, detection and deterrence in the areas of social engineering, firewalls, Virtual Private Networks (VPNs), authentication, security protocols and vulnerability assessments.
