eIQcast Episode 9: HIPAA is back!

It looks like 2009 maybe finally be the year of HIPAA. For those of you in the business for a long time, HIPAA was big news back in the early part of this decade (2001-2004), but due to a lack of enforcement, the regulation has not been top of mind for years, in the wake of Sarbanes-Oxley and PCI. But that seems to be changing. Recently, the pharmacy company CVS/Caremark was levied a fine of more than $2M for a violation of HIPAA rules. Additionally, provisions in the stimulus bill recently signed into law by President Obama provide insight into future enforcement of HIPAA compliance. In this episode of eIQcast, host Ross Levanto interviews eIQnetworks Product Evangelist John Linkous on the news of the fine and what it means for IT and security managers. Running time: 10:51
