Protect and Secure your Institution
To protect and secure key information such as student records, and employee data, you need to know who is accessing which systems and data, and what users are doing at all times. Records of all events taking place in your environment are being logged right now into event logs and Syslog files across your servers, workstations and networking devices. Did you know that all US-based educational institutions need to meet FERPA regulations? Not in the US? If you conduct business with US-based institutions, HIPAA regulations may apply to you as well.
- FERPA — Under 20 U.S.C. § 1232g; Title 34, Part 99 - Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), data and records of electronic transactions, including computer logs can be considered "student records" and must not be released. Breaches of these regulations jeopardize crucial Federal funding to your institution.
- HIPAA — The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) is a United States federal law that requires hospitals, physicians, and managed care companies to adopt medical information security, privacy, and data standards. It also applies to ANY employer in USA, since they are mandated to protect employee privacy information. HIPAA requires organizations to "audit and monitor system and user activity across the entire network, identify and investigate security breaches and suspicious behavior, and maintain an audit trail of user and network activity," and specifies that companies must "retain and protect log data as evidence [for] up to 6 years."
