Healthcare IT Alliance Immunizes Networks Against Rogue Access
Overview The South West Alliance of Rural Health (SWARH) is a joint venture of public health agencies in South-Western Victoria, Australia. It provides a region-wide IP network that carries voice, video, and data services. Its clients use a diverse range of hardware governed by SWARH ICT standards, although SWARH has no direct ability to enforce those standards. SWARH was concerned that if an unauthorized person plugged a computer into a network port at any of its 147 sites, they might gain unfettered access. However, installing secure switches at client sites would have been prohibitively expensive. Instead, in February 2008 SWARH began implementing the Network Access Protection feature of Windows Server 2008. SWARH gained the ability to enforce computer health policies and protect its network from malware.
