| This Fund provides pension and health benefits to
over 80,000 television and radio artists. The Fund’s systems
maintain a wealth of highly sensitive information, including participant
earnings and health history. HIPAA regulations, as well as The Fund’s
own stringent privacy standards, mandate that these systems be secured
at the highest level.
The Fund operates in both New York and California, and each coast
needs access to the same data. Adding to the challenge is the fact
that the Fund is a non-profit organization, and therefore must also
maintain strict fiscal prudence. When the volumes of data being
shared between offices made it clear that a permanent, highly-secure
solution was necessary, the Fund turned to WinMill Software.
WinMill first reviewed the Fund’s business processes and systems
infrastructure. Our recommendation was a strategic redesign and
segmentation of the Fund LAN and WAN. The new design would allow
the Fund to more effectively manage security by zone, with the option
to add or expand zones as needed. A WinMill CISSP-certified security
specialist, working closely with senior network staff, implemented
this redesign in short order. Utilizing existing servers to minimize
additional cost, the network was reconfigured off-hours without
any business down-time. Once completed, the new configuration was
thoroughly documented to ensure that the staff maintaining
the network now and in the future had a full understanding of what
had been done.
As a final step, WinMill performed a rigorous vulnerability test
of the new network to confirm that there was no exposure to an internal
or external security breach. These results were also documented.
WinMill helped secure the Fund’s networks so that they could
focus on securing benefits for their members. When you want to know
that your network is really secure, shouldn’t you turn to
WinMill Software?
