Securing UNIX Networks for HIPAA Compliance with Symark PowerPassword and Symark PowerBroker

Overview This paper addresses the use of Symark’s PowerPassword and PowerBroker security software to meet HIPAA requirements for stringent technical security controls over patient data. Symark PowerPassword and PowerBroker safely delegate administrative privileges (including root) and implement secure logins and strong passwords. Symark PowerPassword and PowerBroker work in tandem to protect heterogeneous UNIX systems from the threat of external attackers as well as abuse and misuse from trusted inside users. This document demonstrates how PowerPassword and PowerBroker greatly improve system security so you can be assured of being in compliance with HIPAA technical security requirements.
