“I met George in 2012 through Purdue University as he conducted the security audit for the hospital that I am CIO over. I must say that George is one of a kind. He pays attention to the details of network security where others do not. Even the things I did not understand during the audit, George took the time and had the patience to ensure I understood. George is thorough, intelligent, driven, and a trusted person, thus I will always use George as a network security adviser. After meeting George you know he is passionate about his job and delivers this passion to any organization he works with. Moreover, I have met a lot of Network Security Analyst in my line of business and George ranks at the top.”

An analysis of various privacy preserving legislation and regulations, such as HIPAA, HITECH,
FERPA, PCI-DSS and state breach notification laws will show that the new provisions HITECH requires is not enough to ensure the privacy and security of protected health information. This paper will contain a detailed review from a security auditor’s perspective of the HITECH Act’s security and privacy provisions, such as increased enforcement, breach notification requirements, patients’ EHR access rights and improvements in business associate agreements. -

Ultimately decided to replace this system with a Q1 Labs SIEM solution when it was EOL in 2010. However, I wasn't able to secure funding since the RSA solution just kept on running!
