"Changes from Information Systems in Healthcare"

Presenter
Karl J. West
Assistant VP, Information Systems & Chief Security Officer
Intermountain Healthcare

Overview: An update on Intermountain Healthcare’s strategic direction and the issues surrounding electronic health care.

About the Presenter:
Mr. West is responsible for strategic planning and management of enterprise IS operations and infrastructure including: five year plans, design, implementation and management of a team of 170 employees with an additional 100 dotted line relationships. Additionally, he is responsible for operational support of Intermountain’s data centers, networks, telecom, web, servers, databases, security, and desktops. With more that a decade of service within Intermountain Healthcare, Mr. West has led efforts to create cost efficiency and an integrated IS plan.

A recent example of Mr. West's strategic planning and implementation was the development of a process for improving clinical care by tracking all changes to Intermountain Healthcare’s production IS systems. The objective of this effort was to increase reliability and availability of Intermountain Healthcare‘s production systems, as a result, critical system availability is now at 99.98%. As part of this process, the IS team implemented tools and processes to track system outages and monitor the performance of IHC’s critical systems. In their efforts to provide best clinical practice, system response has gone from a 2 or 3 second latency to an average of .1 second of latency. Today these monitors have become the benchmark for Intermountain’s user service measurement.

As Chief Security Officer, Mr. West also directs Intermountain Healthcare’s response to HIPAA's Security Rules. He is leading efforts to protect patient health information as well as employee personal information. These efforts include securing laptops, PDAs, tapes, and network devices. Furthermore, Mr. West is responsible for IHC's IS disaster recovery and business continuity plans. Intermountain currently runs 2600 unique applications, and the development of an IS Criticality Matrix has provided the ability to determine which systems need redundancy, manage risk during downtime and expedite recovery of all systems.

Mr. West was responsible for the creation of Intermountain Healthcare’s Enterprise Architecture Committee. This committee reviews the IS vision for a particular product or application and establishes standards to reduce support costs caused by duplication. The result has been tighter integration of the business architecture and reduced cost.

"Creating an Infrastructure to Support Incident Response"

In today's environment security breaches are common. In addition, many regulations and standards, such as state disclosure laws or Payment Card Industry (PCI), require consumer notification or have hefty fines. Though many organizations apply preventative security measures, it is uncommon to see an organization run a structured, well-organized incident response program. SunGard Availability Services will describe how to properly set up an incident response program and set up the network infrastructure to facilitate incident response.

"Addressing New Security Threats from the Adoption of Web 2.0 Technologies"

Organizations can do more over the Web today than ever before. As use of the Web continues to grow and evolve into Web 2.0, virus outbreaks and other forms of Web-borne threats evolve as well, leaving current security systems such as IDS, traditional firewall, or anti-virus (A/V) solutions behind. While still important, these were not designed to combat cleverly blended threats that can be targeted against individual organizations, hiding inside seemingly good HTTP or HTTPS traffic.

Typically, enterprises deploy a dozen or more software packages or appliances to counter threats to their networks, and this number continues to grow. Now, companies are finding their growing arsenal of security applications difficult and costly to manage. There is a need to centralize, coordinate, and consolidate the measures necessary to combat existing and emerging security threats at a manageable price. What's needed is a comprehensive solution that goes beyond desktop or even gateway protections that rely solely on signatures of known threats. Organizations need to be protected from both known and unknown threats, and all the varieties and forms that sophisticated malware takes.

In this session attendees will:

Learn about security threats from adoption and use of Web 2.0 technologies
Learn how to eliminate dynamic Web 2.0 threats such as malware on collaborative sites or blogs
Learn how to use TrustedSource Global Reputation to eliminate unknown web threats
Ensure sensitive data doesn't leak out of your network through web protocols
Safeguard SSL traffic - an open door for many hackers
Receive answers to your questions...and more!

"Data Loss Prevention"

Loss of confidential data can be disastrous! Your corporate data, financial documents, customer data, source code, intellectual property - is your corporation’s lifeblood. It’s often just a few mouse clicks away from being distributed where it shouldn’t be. Lose your data, and you risk harm to your reputation or fines for noncompliance with government and industry regulations. According to a groundbreaking Datamonitor report, more than 60% of respondents interviewed have experienced data loss within the last year, and 33% believe it could put them out of business.

This session will discuss these threats and issues surrounding data loss and how to protect against it. The presenter will describe how traditional security measures have been weak against this type of breach. Discussions around industry best practices and measures that can aid in protecting confidential and proprietary information from leaving you corporate environment will be covered. Along with best practices, Data Loss Prevention technologies can help reduce financial risk due to brand damage, competitive disadvantage, lost customers, legal liability and noncompliance.

"Conquering Your Vista Migration Fears"

The cost and complexity associated with any migration can be managed through an automated deployment strategy -- whether the migration is done over time or in one rapid "forklift" project. An automated strategy can reduce costs by up to 75%; reduce end user downtime; eliminate the need to deploy PCs to a staging area and manually configure; and eliminate manual installations and configurations. An OS migration is the prefect time to standardize desktop PCs and systems management processes. By starting with a clean slate, organizations can obtain an accurate inventory and put in place the tools needed to keep inventories accurate and PCs up-to-date and in compliance standards.

"Security Information Management"

Network devices generate millions of events every day. These events contain security information critical to your business; yet it is virtually impossible to analyze this data without automation. Organizations subject to compliance regulations such as PCI, GLBA, SOX or HIPAA face additional challenges including monitoring and log management mandates. Real-time security information management appliances automatically identify and respond to network attacks, suspicious behavior and policy violations. SIM combines real-time log analysis, event correlation, USB detection and prevention with active response technology. Attend this session and learn more about these emerging products, their network defense technology and audit compliance solutions.

11:15am

"Security Frameworks & the Structure of Security Organizations"

In a recent survey, one third of companies surveyed stated they have over 10 major regulatory requirements. Further complicating this is the rising number of business partners that companies rely on today. The future of compliance to an increasing number of regulations and providing assurance to business partners requires a more scalable and repeatable approach than the current alphabet soup of PCI, SOX, GLBA, HIPAA and others. ISO 27001 may be that standard, allowing you to develop once, comply often.

Presented by: FishNet Security
