Industries

Colleges & Universities

Long before the world wide web was available to anyone with a network connection, students and faculty enjoyed free and open communication using a research IP-based network that eventually became today’s Internet.

These data networks are now used by an expanding number of higher education stakeholders who depend on the Internet for teaching, research, healthcare, admissions, alumni giving, email and online classes. These networks contain personal information that must be protected with new security controls in accordance with a growing number of regulations. These include:

PCI – Protection of payment card information
HIPAA/HITECH – Protection of student health records or research involving private health information
GLBA – Protecting financial information
FERPA – Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) – student records privacy

Energy & Utilities

Power and Utility Companies have a plethora of directives impacting their business operations and particularly their IT governance, risk and compliance environment. Public organizations must comply with a number of additional regulations such as Sarbanes Oxley, Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA, and various state regulations. In addition, the US Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) approved (Jan 2008) the following eight mandatory critical infrastructures protection (CIP) reliability standards:

Critical Cyber Asset Identification
Security Management Controls
Personnel and Training
Electronic Security Perimeters
Physical Security of Critical Cyber Assets
Systems Security Management
Incident Reporting and Response Planning
Recovery Plans for Critical Cyber Assets
