Wired Network Security: Hospital Best Practices
This paper begins by looking at HIPAA and it¡¯s implications for the wired network infrastructure security. A look is then taken at an organizations first line of defense, perimeter security. Although many think that as long as the perimeter is secure the job is done, perimeter security is only a small piece of overall security. Next, network segmentation and traffic isolation will be discussed. By using segmentation and isolation, there is the increased opportunity for security boundaries. Another concept that will be discussed is the security of the network equipment. The network is only functional if the core equipment is operational, so securing equipment is an important part of any security strategy.
