Highly Privileged Access Monitoring and Control for Windows Servers
Executive Sponsor: Mike Parrella, Senior Team Leader, Information Security
Project Team: Phani Dasari, Sumeet Lakhwani, Michael A. Minwell, Rudy Urena, Jeffrey Kolmos, Hardik Mehta, Vishnu Pemmasani, Paul Engelbert, Trina Ford and William O'Connell
Location: Roseland, NJ
The Highly Privileged Access Monitoring and Control project was undertaken to prepare GE Capital for operating under stricter regulatory standards imposed by the federal government through the Dodd-Frank Act. The project involved establishing an operational definition of file transmission and implementing technology to prohibit the egress of sensitive information while enabling such data to flow freely within the organization from secure source to secure destination without impeding business processes. The initiative leverages the Verdasys Digital Guardian Enterprise Information Protection platform as the cornerstone of a transparent and user-aware solution that provides monitoring, identification, control and blocking capabilities to ensure that administrators cannot mishandle sensitive and confidential HPA information residing on mission-critical Windows servers.
Advanced SIEM for VA OI&T Region 1
Executive Sponsor: Andrew Peterson, Division Chief, Security Management Division
Team Members: Kenneth Crandell, Vincent Bui, Jeremy Phillips, Sherry L Wilson, Kristofer E. Phillips, Michelle Yu
The Veterans Affairs Office of Information and Technology (OI&T) is entrusted to manage private data for millions of Veterans around the world. The team was under a great deal of pressure: first, to comply with security requirements mandated by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and Federal Information SecurityManagement Act (FISMA); and to manage the data across a disparate set of offices and systems. In order to respond to audits more effectively and reduce the risk of data leaks, the OI&T Region 1 team consolidated their Security Information and Event Management systems to a single, centrally-managed solution.
