Lockheed Martin confirms attack on its IT network

Lockheed Martin and RSA are serious players in network security. If they can be hit then your company can be hit. How then can outsourcing lower your risks instead of increasing them?

We have been very serious about network security at Telegenisys ever since our founding in 1994. We don’t have any SecurID tokens of the kind that were used in this attack. We don’t just blindly accept RSA’s word that their systems are totally secure so we should just trust them, because they’re not. We don’t have roving access. When our employees are on the job then they are in our secure facilities. That way we don’t have to worry about the security of home office PCs, because these are not part of our solutions.

And we do point to point connections using tried and true technologies, triple DES and IP restrictions. We are worried about quantum computer attacks, but we don’t think the currently offered solutions have been subjected to enough public scrutiny to be worth implementing. So if your security solution is only secure until the minute that somebody discovers how you do it, then don’t call us, we’re not interested.

The United States military has long been a leader in innovation, especially in medical care, but it seems that Veterans Affairs may be leading Department of Defense towards non-proprietary health record software.

Telegenisys was founded back in 1994 for the task of linking legacy systems into customer focused business processes and we hope that just like with the Internet, jet engines and digital photography, the benefits of military innovation will be quickly copied in the commercial sector.

Of course even when you do get systems that handle the new standard, you will still have vast piles of old format records and old format legacy systems. Which is exactly the kind of work Telegenisys does every day.
