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.

Patrick Gougeon writes in the Financial Times “Outsourcing, a key
aspect of globalisation and the root of major organisational changes,
is now recognised as an aggravating factor of companies’ ability to
manage risk well. The practice results in the direct segmentation of
processes and in information asymmetry, diluting risk along the value
chain and making risk control more difficult.”

That is the Christmas Tree Lights model of outsourcing. Long ago Christmas Tree Lights were wired so that if any of the lights along the string failed then the entire string failed to light up. Figuring out which light was faulty simply required replacing every single light in the chain in turn to see which one was the problem. Fortunately most brands are not wired like that any more so why not do the same for your company?

Setting up parallel processes for real time tasks enables you to keep faith with your customers in spite of failures. What you need is a flexible partner who understands risk and is able to adapt in real
time to keep your processes running. And that’s exactly what Telegenisys has been doing for over a decade.

Whether or not defendant’s counsel intentionally misled
plaintiffs, counsel’s inquiries about defendant’s computer
capacity were certainly deficient …

Health and Human Services is going to be cracking down on health insurance rate increases starting in 2011.

So insurance companies should make it their new year’s resolution to check over all of their costs in order to make the grade and get onto the health insurance exchange lists that HHS will soon be creating.

Our HIPAA complaint facility is already delivering good value for money for the insurance industry so let’s chat and find out how we can best support your processes.
