Applied Trust
is a Unique Breed
http://www.atrust.com/

Information is critical to all types of businesses. Whether you have a business that has not traditionally worried about computers and networks, or if your business is steeped in technology, you know that businesses are enabled and improved by effective use of technology. But how do you select an IT infrastructure and security company?

Many times Web sites and brochures offer services that appear to be the same or similar. How do you choose the right one? The answer is trust. When you are looking to secure your information and your network, you need to trust the partner you select. So why should you trust Applied Trust more than our competitors? There are many reasons, all of which are based in the tenet that we provide the best security, infrastructure, performance and availability services for your networks and systems. Learn more…

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. Ned McClain, Applied Trust Engineering

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.

Terry Morreale, Producer & Director, Women in IT; and Senior Engineer, Applied Trust EngineeringSarah Kiefhaber, AVAYAenclosure-voice 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.

431_ There's Quite a Buzz About Healthcare...Here's More
Terry Morreale - Women in IT with Margo Karsten, Exempla enclosure-voice 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.

424_ Big and Small Companies Look at Outsourcing Differently
Terry Morreale, Sr. Engineer, Applied TrustWendy Bohling, Magpie"Standing out is a must today when 70% of small businesses fail," claims Wendy Bohling, Vice President Sales & Marketing for Magpie. For smaller companies it is extremely important to differentiate your company from the competition. Terry Morreale, Senior Engineer, Applied Trust and producer of the Women in IT Channel discussed how Magpie handled that in Magpie with fewer than 100 people. Magpie has its roots in Bell Laboratories and Wendy has spent 22 years in the telecommunications industry including AT&T to Bell Laboritoies/Lucent and AVAYA. Wendy pointed out that their software engineers, developers and gurus have mastered the techniques of Agile and Extreme Programming and with a 99% ontime delivery, that has been their differentiator. Terry and Wendy got into a very interesting discussion about outsourcing. What we hear about the most is offshoring. Wendy suggested and Terry very much agreed that there is a movement coming back that's called rural or farm sourcing as well as onshoring. This is a point where smaller companies can take advantage of their flexibility, be priced right and make that one of their differentiators.

Terry Morreale, Applied Trust Engineering397_Making Business Sense with Diverse Diversity
What does diversity mean? Terry Morreale, Senior Engineer, Applied Trust and producer of the Women in IT Channel Sue Kunz, Solidwareexplored that question with Susan Kunz, CEO and Co-Founder of Solidware Technologies. In addition to how 'diversity' is traditionally defined such as differences in gender, ethnicity, nationality, Sue and Terry went outside of the box and looked at other areas and discussed the business benefits of really being diverse. Sue points out that, "It comes in lots of flavors. Socio-economic background, age, family placement (I love having interns as well as folks who have been in their careers for a long time). This brings a great balance of new ideas, energy, and experience to a team. Char, Co-founder of Solidware is Afro-American but her real diversity has to do with family placement; as oldest of 12, Char can manage anything, experience base, gender, education, and style. And how about team dynamics? "Diverse teams tend to be much more creative and innovative than those who think alike. Sometimes they can be more challenging to manage, but I'll take this challenge before striving for uniformity." Then they talked about the growing IT shortage.  LISTEN

enclosure-voice 356_Larry Nelson & Terry Morreale, Producer Women in IT, speak with Dena Somers, Childrens Hospital while our best audience, young woman for IT Patricia Morreale listens attentively. IT Strategies for Physicians, Hospitals and the Patients
In the past physicians made notes into a paper file during your visit (some still do), and that was the ‘medical record’. When you left your doctor’s office, that paper went into a folder and sat on a shelf. There are many limitations to that, you can’t look at data across time. And you’re also limited if you go to a different doctor, because they have a different piece of paper that sits on a different shelf. We felt the ‘electronic record’ would bridge that gap and overall improve the delivery of care to patients. Terry Morreale, Senior Engineer, Applied Trust and Dena Somers, Director of Clinical Information Systems, Children’s Hospital discuss some life-saving IT strategies for physicians and hospitals as Children's actually has computers in every exam room. Dena describes her department as “The bridge between the IT department, the technologists and the clinicians."
