What a great story I have for you this week! It follows the full story arc from a young lad helping his Mom carry around her paper medical records to establishing a security onion, using Citrix and AWS to protect some of the most sensitive data, at every layer of the threat vector.
Recently I had the pleasure, of speaking with Eric Humes, CEO of Keystone Technologies, on how they securely and reliably host patient data to physicians and other healthcare workers, wherever and whenever they work or whatever device they choose. What he had to tell me was so enlightening that I felt compelled to write a blog about it.
(OK, so really, I’m compelled by a contractual obligation to write a blog about my videos, but that is neither here nor there.)
According to Eric, if you look at the layers that exist for securing data, and what’s needed to prevent attacks from the multitude of vectors, you can understand why he references a “security onion.”
Keystone was doing cloud before cloud was cool. They were hosting healthcare data in their private clouds in St Louis, with backups in Kansas City, before public clouds even accumulated (that’s the best joke I have for cloud formations).
You’ll laugh. You’ll cry. You might even get a craving for marshmallow-ed breakfast cereals. Tune in to see the whole story and how you can be better protected against attacks across every layer.
