Harvard Medical School Deploys Third Brigade For PCI Security

Hard Hat Area: Health IT –One of the best benefits, protection from SQL Injection attacks from web applications and of course explicit logging. With technology and the exploits growing at such a rapid pace today outsourcing to the specialty companies who make this their #1 priority and focus is the way to go, to handle in house for any organization of any substantial size is a huge job and will take more resources and not be as good at running this in front of the servers from a web application. A while back I did a post on security enhancements and Channel 9 from Microsoft has a very entertaining video about a SQL Injection attack done in Las Vegas, fictional, but done in a way to help anyone understand network security. Well worth the watch and it will open your eyes. BD
