Privacy & HIPPAA Compliance Tips
HACKERS & CYBER THUGS
Who are they?
Where are they?
Why do they do it?
How am I vulnerable?
What can I do to protect myself?
HACKERS: WHO ARE THEY?
Entrepreneurs
Geniuses
From all walks of life
Programmers
Thieves
Too smart for their own good,
with a computer & internet connection!
HACKERS: WHERE ARE THEY?
Next Door
College Campuses
Living with Mom & Dad
Overseas
China
Russia
Third World Countries
HACKERS: WHY DO THEY DO IT?
They are bored
They consider it a challenge
They want to create chaos
They want to make money
HACKERS: HOW AM I VULNERABLE?
Open Internet Connections
No Router or Firewall – Direct Connection
Weak Passwords
Unsecured WIFI
Open Shares
Open Ports
Especially RDC/Terminal Services!
Email Servers
HACKERS: WHAT CAN I DO?
Knowing is half the battle!
Methods are always changing: Be Vigilant
Get a router
Set a stronger password
Password protect important or sensitive data
Get help!
Close open ports
Setup routers
Etc…
VIRUSES & ETDS
Most are developed by hackers
Anti-Virus programs are good, but can’t always help you
It’s fairly easy to protect yourself, as long as you know what to do:
BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU CLICK ON!
Make sure you can trust websites you are visiting
If they are “trying too hard” to get a click – don’t do it
Don’t trust official-looking anti-virus warnings
Be aware of your AV brand
If it’s asking for money, be VERY careful
Just because it says “Microsoft, doesn’t mean it’s legit” (or Adobe, etc…)
Viruses can’t run unless you give permission or access
ROUTERS & FIREWALLS
Any router is better than nothing
Almost any router will provide basic protection from most attacks
Router VS Firewall
Router is usually simply a device for connecting computers and sharing internet and
network resources
Most routers have at least some firewall functionality built in
A firewall is a must more advanced version of a router which actively inspects network and
internet traffic for potential problems
Routers and Firewalls cannot always protect from viruses
Some firewalls can inspect files for malicious content
Must always be updated and relevant for current attacks
Hackers use viruses (especially Trojans) to get access thru firewalls
Most Important – routers/firewalls manage ports and traffic
SERVERS & PASSWORDS
Check servers for open ports
RDC 3389; Email 110, 25; FTP 21, Telnet 23
Check for unused or unknown Admin accounts
Know what all accounts are for – remove others
Check all accounts for remote access
Double-Lock policy for sensitive programs or resources
Set multiple authentication points
Use different passwords!
Test for vulnerabilities (you may need help with this
(continued…)
SERVERS & PASSWORDS
(…continued)
Establish an organization wide password policy
Ensure strong password for anyone who has access to critical or
sensitive data
Seven characters or more
Upper & Lower case letters
Numbers & letters
Special characters
Random as possible
Change passwords often
PRIVACY & HIPPAA COMPLIANCE
Disclaimer
Concerns
Patient records on mobile devices
Unauthorized access to privileged servers or workstations
Be careful of others standing too close – may be able to read sensitive patient data
Theft of devices or other hardware with data stored locally
Tips
Passwords! Or use biometric authentication
Consider encrypting Storage Devices
Thoroughly destroy residual data on old hardware after upgrades, etc
Thank you for attending!
