 354_ This is More Than a High-Level Alert for Your Computer
Trent Hein and
Ned McClain, co-founders of Applied Trust discuss one of the scariest Internet subjects we have ever heard. They talk about the topic in a way that business people can understand and gives your IT staff some geart security ideas. 
Their number one suggestion is to
check the Open Web Application Security Project or OWASP. "These guys publish a lot of interesting information about what’s going on with application security on the web. They publish a Top 10 Vulnerability list. The 2007 list is out and anyone who has a web site, large or small, should be aware of what’s on this list. There's also a wonderful guide that talks through how to mitigate and address the top ten vulnerabilities in your environment.
In 2007, Cross site scripting aka XSS, has risen to the number one spot of the top ten web security vulnerabilites. Sites that allow users to post content to the site might mean that a bad guy could post malicious code to the site.
No. 2 Threat: Injection Flaws. A lot of web sites have a data base behind them and any of those servers speak a language that you can use to say, “Hey, I would like to get information from the data base, or I’d like to put information into the data base.” This has been used for a whole variety of exploits.
No. 3 Malicious File Execution, really means having good website hygiene. Demo files that came with your computer, or a sample application should be cleaned up so that a ‘bad guy’ can’t take advantage of that file and take control of your computer.
Trent and Ned give a whole new meaning to TRUST.

Challenges and Choices in Building a Virtual Company
 Terry Morreale has interviewed a number of 'Women in IT' with all types of backgrounds, with a diverse group of job responsibilities and all with different goals and challenges. Terry is a Senior Engineer at Applied Trust Engineering and Director of the Women in IT Channel. She interviewed Beth Just, President and CEO of Just Associates at  her home office. They have 44 employees and they all work virtually with most in Colorado, but others spread across the country. Beth is very proud about how her current team is working, but she points out some of the difficulties in building a virtual team. "Initially we found that it is recruitment because there are some people who can work out of the home and some that just can’t. Some people just can’t ever turn their work off, and some can’t seem to get to it.. So, the quality of the work they’re doing is constantly interrupted by their kids or dogs or that next load of laundry. We found that we had to structure our interview questions to solicit responses that would help us know whether they had a ‘responsibility character’, whether or not they could stay focused...

There's Quite a Buzz About Healthcare...Here's More
Just recently a patient was dying –
making 'end of life' decisions and wanted to speak with her family. One daughter lived in Seattle. Our IT department with
our Nursing Staff connected her daughter in Seattle through TeleVideo. The mom and daughter had their time together, said
their goodbyes and within 24 hours the mom passed away. We could not have done that even two years ago explains Margo
Karsten, R.N., PhD, Chief Operating Officer, Administration and Chief Nursing Officer at Saint Joseph Hospital, Exempla.
Terry Morreale, Senior Engineer, Applied Trust and producer of the Women in IT Channel, brings another fascinating account
from the realm of women in information technology. Margo shared many IT advances including tapping into Children's Hospital
expertise by sending heart echoes over and have them read in almost real time. At a high illness level, we can quickly get
an expert in to tell us what is going on. Another point is Exempla spent $100 million dollars just to get the health records up.
There are some great leaning lessons here,

Women in Engineering are Growing in Numbers, But More Are Needed
In the past 10 to 20 years, everything has changed. "Engineering in general has changed a great deal. We are a lot more aware of how students learn and we realize a lot of learning takes place collaboratively – implementing team based learning. We’re trying to reflect what is happening out in  industry", unlike when Bev Louie did her senior design project in isolation… "Women really excel in the team environment," said Dr. Beverly Louie, Director, Women in Engineering Program at the University of Colorado, Boulder. Bev was interviewed by Terry Morreale, producer and director of the Women in IT Channel. Terry is a senior engineer at Applied Trust Engineering and graduated from the CU College of Engineering in 1994. Bev went on to point out, "Everyone needs to know that engineering is broader than just technology. We have all sorts of medical technology developed by engineers from the chemicals used in drugs all the way to the equipment used in diagnoses and surgeries. All that stuff was designed from an engineer’s creative passion to find a better way to do something. We have engineers that are working on tissue engineering, so.. tissue regeneration. We have a group working on growing brain cells that will help address Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s. We have folks interested in regenerating cartilage – we know it doesn’t work to just throw cartilage into a joint. It doesn’t work because it doesn’t grow there. So how do you grow it?" Terry is passionate about young people involved and interested in technology and she explored with Bev ways to cultivate that interest. Listen for more stimulating ideas...

Loving Her Career and Financial Security Made the Difference
 
A move from the food industry, (29 years ago) to IT was an easy leap for Sarah Kiefhaber, who is now with AVAYA. Terry Morreale, producer and director of the Women in IT Channel talked to Sarah about her amazing journey in IT. Terry, a senior engineer at Applied Trust Engineering has for a long time been passionate about the concept of 'economic independence' for women. Sarah is a perfect example. "I started working at Bell Laboratories in 1979, having completed undergraduate degrees in mathematics and German plus one year of graduate work in physical anthropology. I spent a number of years working in the computer center at Bell Labs, first as the 'help desk' for all of the Denver Bell Labs technical population, then as primary technical support for all output services, before moving into integration testing of an adjunct processor for a communications system. "In addition to spending a year in England, Sarah is involved in pretty much every phase of product development from inception through requirements, design, development, testing, manufacturing, ordering, field support, sales support and end of life. I have helped to debug field problems in labs, on the phone and at customer locations. Share this interview with your daughters.
