Network Security – Keep You Secure Online All The Time

End-user expectations, hyper-aggressive competition, speed-to-market demands and regulatory changes have forever changed the way service providers approach their customers. This – coupled with the complexities of network evolution, profitability pressures and commoditization of core business lines, such as voice and data – has forced providers to explore innovation in ways never before imagined.

CYK Network and System Integration Services supports both service provider and enterprise customers in their network and business evolution with a focus on these key transformation services:

• Network Design, Integration, Optimization and Migration expertise assist our customers in getting the most out of their network investments through network planning and design facilitation, network infrastructure optimization, multi-vendor network integration, and reliable migration to next generation infrastructure.

HIPPA Compliance

HIPAA is an unusual law in that it makes a lot of recommendations (addressable items) and a few assertions (required items), but in the end it is up to each organization to determine for themselves what they need to do to be compliant. This creates a great deal of flexibility and also a great deal of uncertainty. In general, to be HIPAA-compliant, a web site must at a minimum ensure that all protected health information (ePHI):

• Transport Encryption: Is always encrypted as it is transmitted over the Internet
• Backup: Is never lost, i.e. should be backed up and can be recovered
• Authorization: Is only accessible by authorized personnel using unique, audited access controls
• Integrity: Is not tampered with or altered
• Storage Encryption: Should be encrypted when it is being stored or archived
• Disposal: Can be permanently disposed of when no longer needed
• Omnibus/HITECH: Is located on the web servers of a company with whom you have a HIPAA Business Associate Agreement (or it is hosted in house and those servers are properly secured per the HIPAA security rule requirements).

Virtual Solutions Onsite DAS SAN NAS

Virtual machines allow you to run an operating system in a window on your desktop. Use them to run software made for other operating systems, experiment with different operating systems, and sandbox software.

There are several good free virtual machine programs, so setting up a virtual machine is easy. You’ll just need installation media for the operating system you want to install — this is free if you want to install Linux in a virtual machine, at least.

A virtual machine program is a computer program that creates a virtual computer system, complete with virtual hardware devices. This virtual computer “machine” runs as a process in a window on your current operating system. You can boot an operating system installer disc (or live CD) inside the virtual machine, and the operating system will be “tricked” into thinking it’s running on a real computer. It will install and run just as it would on a real, physical machine. Whenever you want to use the operating system, you can open the virtual machine program and use it in a window on your current desktop.
