One would think that with all of today’s security standards and compliance requirements that data leaks and security breaches would be few and far between. Of course, one would be wrong to think that. Indeed, in the healthcare sector alone the numbers are staggering. In a recent report published by Healthcare Info Security the official federal list of major healthcare information breaches dating back to last September included 119 incidents affecting almost 5 million Americans. About 20 incidents were added to the list in the last 30 days.
The total of those affected by major breaches grew by approximately 1.5 million in the past month, primarily as a result of two large cases.
In one case, South Shore Hospital in South Weymouth, Mass. reported that unencrypted backup computer files containing personal, health and financial information on about 800,000 people may have been lost by a company that a Massachusetts Hospital hired to destroy the files. On the breach list, the business partner involved is identified as Iron Mountain Data Products Inc.
In the other case, WellPoint Inc., which owns Blue Cross and Blue Shield plans in 14 states, announced in late June that it was notifying 470,000 people who applied for individual health insurance coverage that their information may have been breached on a website.
Don’t Make the List
Organizations that suffer from security breaches can’t hide and pretend it didn’t happen. Under the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act's breach notification rule, which went into effect last September, breaches affecting more than 500 individuals must be reported to the Department of Health and Human Services' Office for Civil Rights and the news media as well as the individuals affected within 60 days. It’s definitely a list you don’t want to be on.
Get Informed & Get Secure with XYPRO
For more than 25 years, XYPRO has been helping businesses, including healthcare organizations secure their mission-critical systems and information. We help ensure that our customers never make lists like the ones mentioned above. You can learn more about how we do it from our webinar archive at www.xypro.com/webinars.

The Secret to Fitness...
I may have found the key to improving my overall health, when recently I had the good fortune of teaching a one-week XYGATE class for one of XYPRO's customers in Porto Alegri, which is the capital of Rio Grande do Sul and is Brazil's southernmost state. Porto Alegri is a pretty city, with tree-lined streets and colorful sunsets over Lake Guaíba.
The company, along with a number of other international high-tech businesses, including HP, leases buildings on the campus of the Pontifical Catholic University of Rio Grande do Sul (PUCRS). The companies agree to accept students for internships and on-the-job training. The companies pay rent, which supplements the university's income. In addition, all of the extra people on campus makes having a big variety of restaurants and other businesses, including a fairly large mall on campus, feasible. This is such a wonderful idea—I’m surprised more universities aren't doing it.
This was my first experience teaching where more than half of the students were watching via video conference from multiple time zones. However, the Brazilian folks were experts on setting everything up, and the class came off without any problems.
I also had my first taste of the yerba mate tea and saw how it is brewed. Perhaps that is the secret to their fitness! Some studies have shown that this tea has anti-obesity, cholesterol lowering and antioxidant properties. All I know is the vast majority of citizens appeared extremely fit regardless of age or gender. Well, I'll let you know how it goes in a few months...

XYGATE is Profiled in the Roadmap to the Megaplex
High-profile guide by Standish Group highlights XYGATE’s sophisticated security features
(July 8, 2010) Simi Valley, CA – XYPRO Technology Corporation, a leading provider of security software and services for HP NonStop™ Server environments, today announced that it has been included in the Standish Group’s Roadmap to the Megaplex. The guide offers timely information to help organizations maximize their current investment in HP NonStop server applications. The Roadmap to the Megaplex also offers return on investment scenarios and provides compelling reasons to modernize the NonStop applications and environment.
XYPRO’s security and access control suite, XYGATE, is highlighted in the Roadmap’s Security Modernization section. XYGATE is a comprehensive security, compliance, auditing and FIPS 140-2 validated encryption software solution for HP NonStop environments. Security modernization is the process of changing the traditional security and protection systems from passive to proactive. Government and industry regulations mandate much of this change. The Standish Group reports that 69 percent of organizations have an active and concentrated effort to meet regulatory compliance. Investment in security is minimal when compared to the financial penalties levied for non-compliance or the monetary impact of a breach.
The Roadmap to the Megaplex highlights XYGATE’s ability to greatly enhance an organization’s security environment and enable protection of their intellectual property and confidential information. “The security process is challenging and ever-evolving as organizations strive to protect our personal data, their corporate assets and meet regulatory compliance,” said Sheila Johnson, XYPRO CEO. “One way to make the process simpler is to deploy a centralized security management system with highly sophisticated security capabilities but that is straightforward to use, such as XYGATE.”
XYGATE’s implementation is simple and requires little training for the experienced NonStop security administrator. XYGATE’s intuitive wizards are designed to help security administrators set up rules and roles quickly. The XYGATE suite has been efficiently designed to meet organizations’ goals to protect data and improve productivity while achieving granular security, audit and compliance mandates.
“The Roadmap to the Megaplex is a critical document for organizations seeking to maximize their investments in NonStop applications,” said Lisa Partridge, XYPRO Vice President. “We are thrilled that XYGATE’s rich security, audit and compliance features have been profiled as an avenue for organizations to enhance and protect their HP NonStop server environment.”

Viking Longtrip
Three days at the end of May saw Sean Bicknell and I head to the ninth annual VNUG (Viking NonStop User Group) conference held this year at Gällöfsta Manor, about half an hour north of Stockholm.
Day one was either an education day, or a golf tournament. I was looking forward to a round of golf, but striking British Airways cabin staff had other ideas. Our rescheduled flight meant I’ll have to wait until next year to play my first golf in Sweden. At least with an extra year to practice I’ll increase my chances of not coming last!
The real business began on the morning of day two. Around 10 vendors set up their booths and a range of HP updates, vendor pitches and user presentations kicked off at 9.30am. Our presentation was originally scheduled to be the final one of the event on day three, but a last-minute cancellation by one of the speakers meant we were moved to the afternoon of day two – no complaints there.
For XYPRO’s 20 minute slot we took a look at a few of the PCI-DSS requirements which can’t be met on a NonStop with native software. This scenario applies to far more requirements than we had time to cover, but it was more than enough time to take a high-level look at three of the key PCI-DSS related tools we have to offer.
The first was XUA (XYGATE User Authentication) which provides logon controls via IP address, thus ticking the PDC-DSS 1.3.2 box: Limit inbound Internet traffic to IP addresses within the DMZ. XUA also provides far more functionality with the likes of LDAP-integrated Single Sign On, granular log-on control, time-related log-on restriction, full audit and more – not only providing extra uses, but also covering other PCI-DSS requirements including (but not limited to) 7.2, 8.1 and 8.5.13.
Following the theme of using one XYGATE solution to crack several different PCI-DSS nuts, were XSW (XYGATE Security Compliance Wizard) which is by far the best file-integrity/change-detection tool on the market and XMA (XYGATE Merged Audit) which chiefly consolidates and exports NonStop audit data and provides real-time alerts. XSW and XMA apply to a long list of PCI requirements, so if you’re just starting a PCI project, be sure to take a look sooner rather than later.
PCI-DSS is a fairly hot topic in Europe right now and Sean and I thought his presentation was well received at the time. Those thoughts were backed up a few days after the event, when the delegate feedback forms were returned, showing the XYPRO presentation to have scored the highest of the event – no mean feat when HP’s Mittal Parekh is in town – the man is so passionate he could talk about a paint drying process and I’d still be riveted!
It’s a VNUG tradition to have some sort of group activity on the evening of day two. This year’s was kept under secret until they’d got everyone herded into a large empty conference room: line dancing! I won’t deny that my heart sank when they first announced it, but I don’t mind admitting it was actually great fun – never thought I’d find myself saying that! I’ll also admit that it’s far more difficult than it looks!
The event drew to a close at around 3.30pm on day three, giving us time to reflect on a well attended and very friendly VNUG event. Our thanks to Tommy and the rest of the VNUG board for putting on another great conference. With 2011 being the tenth anniversary, they’ve promised us an even more memorable event next year – we’re looking forward to it already.

In Memoriam: Lauren Uroff
- Sheila Johnson, CEO
When professionals join XYPRO, we like to think that they are joining more than just a software corporation; they are joining a close-knit family. To be sure, it’s close to impossible not to get incredibly attached to the wonderful, talented people that comprise the XYPRO family. So, it is with great sadness that we had to say goodbye to one of our long-time XYPRO family members, Lauren Uroff. We are indeed in deep mourning, but at the same time, trying to celebrate the wonderful and rich life Lauren led. Over the past few weeks, we have heard so many touching and uplifting stories about Lauren—she simply made a positive, lasting impact on everyone she knew.
Kristie Rusk is one of the many people who Lauren deeply touched.
Below, Kristie offers her memories and tribute to our Lauren.
I’ve been an employee of XYPRO since 1987. I’ve been here longer than any other XYPRO employee, except for Sheila Johnson, our CEO. When I look back at these past 23 years, each year has it’s own “memorable moment” associated with it, some of them good and some of them bad. In 1994, we had the infamous Northridge earthquake and I have memories of us all ducking under the conference room table during aftershocks. In 2001, it was the 9/11 attacks while the ITUG conference was being held in Anaheim. We scrambled to find places for our customers to stay who were unable to fly home. In 2006, we had two “XY-babies” born within a few weeks of each other and two more babies were born in 2008. This year promises to have its share of good memories for XYPRO. But sadly, the one event that I will remember 2010 for is the loss of my co-worker and friend, Lauren Uroff.
Lauren joined XYPRO in 1992 as a QA Analyst and later that year, her husband Scott also joined XYPRO. They quickly became vital members of the XYPRO team. Together, they helped build the XYPRO Security products to become the leading edge products they are today. Lauren was intensely proud of her work. When we began to offer XYGATE classes here at the XYPRO offices, Lauren was key to the building and teaching of those class materials. She loved working with customers and if she met you, either on the phone or in person, she never forgot your name! As valuable an asset Lauren was to XYPRO, for me, she was one of my closest friends here at the office. Lauren and I shared many things over the years. We held down the fort by ourselves at the office while everyone was attending ITUG Conferences, we laughed in the lunchroom about the latest “news of the day”. Lauren was bright, witty, an avid reader, a seeker of knowledge – from the silly to the sublime. Our conversations ranged from deep and philosophical to arguments about who we liked better on “Top Chef”.
As proud as Lauren was of her work, her greatest pride was her family, her husband Scott and her son James. After James was born, she changed her status at XYPRO from full-time employee to that of an independent contractor, so that she could have the flexibility in her schedule to play an active role in his life. She spent many hours volunteering at his school and never missed a concert or karate practice. She was determined that he be a well-rounded and polite young man.
In 2009, Lauren was diagnosed with cancer. She worked from home as often as she could, but her presence at the office became less and less. In December, while preparing to come back to the office on a regular basis, we got the devastating news that the cancer had spread. Three months later in March 2010, we lost her.
It is sad to think that the newer employees here at XYPRO will never get the opportunity to know or work with Lauren. But, it helps to know that Lauren’s legacy will live on in the quality of the XYPRO products that she helped build, the customers who she helped support and most importantly in the lives of her family.

Flat Screens, Light Bulbs and IBM, Oh My……
For me personally, EBUG (European BASE24 User Group) is quite a significant event for two reasons. Firstly it’s EMEA’s premier gathering for anyone with an interest in BASE24 and other related ACI products. And secondly, because it marks my first year of involvement/employment in the HP NonStop field – the 2009 EBUG in Prague last year was my first day on the job!
The big talking point from last year was ACI’s announcement that BASE24 ‘classic’ would be phased out within a couple of years and its new collaboration with IBM. It’s safe to say that this announcement wasn’t greeted with the warmth that ACI had expected.
A year later, we’re in Madrid, Spain, and there was far less controversy. ACI had obviously taken its customer’s feedback on board and stances have changed and relaxed. Deadlines for BASE24’s ‘sun-setting’ have been extended and it’s now talked about as the end of ‘support’ for BASE24 classic, as opposed to the product itself. It’s no huge surprise that ACI was still keen for as many of its customers as possible to migrate to BASE24-eps, pointing out that over 20 customers have now made the switch.
From what I gather, the IBM situation hasn’t seen the exodus from HP NonStop that certain parties might have been hoping for – I may be wrong, but I don’t know of any HP NonStop users who have jumped ship to IBM. In fact, I dare say that ACI/IBM bringing hardware to the fore has actually resulted in a few NonStop Blade upgrades for existing HP customers. I can only see that as a good thing. But don’t go thinking that IBM has admitted defeat, would there have been a ‘stand of the show’ award, IBM would have won it with ease...
In the XYPRO booth there were less plasma TVs and halogen light bulbs, but that didn’t mean there was any less activity. Many thanks to all those who dropped by for a chat, to pick up product info and to enter their business card to win an HP Netbook. The drawing was held at the gala evening meal and was won by Attila Biro of Comparex, so congratulations to him!
Overall it was another successful EBUG event and we look forward to next year’s, which we hear will be taking place in Germany.
XYPRO’s next few European events are a one day BITUG SIG on 19th May in London and a much larger Viking NonStop User Group (VNUG) annual meeting in Stockholm during the last week the month. If you’re going to either, we look forward to saying hi and perhaps sharing a beer or two in the bar...
