Compliance, HIPAA, & More
Compliance is a vital piece of the network security puzzle for many businesses, so we thought we’d spotlight the compliance requirements that people are most familiar with in the US – the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act more commonly known as HIPAA. So who better to discuss HIPAA on our podcast, then the cohosts of a podcast about HIPAA. Donna Grindle and David Sims from the Help Me With HIPAA podcast join us to talk HIPAA, highlight compliance challenges related to COVID-19, and to bust some myths about where HIPAA applies and where it doesn’t.Check out their weekly podcast at https://helpmewithhipaa.com. In a cybersecurity headlines segment heavy on bad news, we talk about a big internet outage, a big Twitter hack, and a (possibly) big ransomware attack on Garmin.See the stories:Much Of The Internet Went Down Yesterday: Here’s The Reason Why https://www.forbes.com/sites/daveywinder/2020/07/18/internet-down-human-error-not-cyber-attack-to-blame-says-cloudflare/#2ae1ac9878f6The Twitter Hack Shows a Major Cybersecurity Vulnerability: Employees https://slate.com/technology/2020/07/twitter-hack-human-weakness.htmlGarmin down https://www.techradar.com/news/garmin-down-why-the-outage-is-it-to-do-with-ransomware-and-what-can-you-doGet info on all things network security through our new, improved blog, https://firewalls.com/blog.And please do reach out, as we want to hear from you.
