quote:

Information security company Tanium is a relatively well-established "next-generation" cybersecurity vendor that was founded 10 years ago—far ahead of the wave of the venture capital-funded newcomers, like Cylance, who have changed the security software space. (Tanium has reached a market valuation of more than $3 billion, though there are no indications of when it will make an initial public offering.)

Starting in 2012, Tanium apparently had a secret weapon to help it compete with the wave of newcomers, which the company's executives used in sales demonstrations: a live customer network they could tap into for product demonstrations. There was just one problem: the customer didn't know that Tanium was using its network. And since the customer was a hospital, the Tanium demos—which numbered in the hundreds between 2012 and 2015, according to a Wall Street Journal report—exposed live, sensitive information about the hospital's IT systems. Until recently, some of that data was shown in publicly posted videos.

In 2010, Tanium's software was installed at Allscripts Healthcare Solutions' El Camino Hospital (which markets itself as "the hospital of Silicon Valley") in Santa Clara County, California. The hospital no longer has a relationship with Tanium. While Tanium did not have access to patient data, the demos showed desktop and server management details that were not anonymized.

that other EMR vendors are somehow even more set on archaic means of doing poo poo than Epic always impresses me.

i wonder if they still haven't figured out how to do config mgmt for customer db servers and still make everyone run through a giant excel checklist of sysctls and such.

Apparently a server was struck with a virus (not crypto) on my vacation. Instead of wiping the server clean and restoring a backup. Which in turn would verify the backup procedure. Boss decided to just run a virus scanner that found and quarantined the virus. And the server has been running ever since.
I have e-mailed my boss that I want to wipe the server and restore it from a backup prior to the date that it was infected. Because I believe the server can no longer be trusted after an infection.
Mostly CYA. Hasn't responded yet.

I expect a no. Would it be ok for me to e-mail people who are higher up about this if he does say no?
I can't sit idly by on a server that i see as a ticking time bomb.

SEKCobra posted:

Not really something that warrants escalation. If the virus is contained, there's not even really any problem with the machine, that's the point of AV. A CYA doesn't hurt, but I don't see how this is in any way a special event if it's just a generic virus.

in tyool 2012 my last ship still had at least one win2k standalone system and i think they had finally upgraded all the nt stuff to a custom os. they still had xp, ie6 (maybe 7) and an outdated version of firefox on all the workstations.

the shore command was about half upgraded to win7 while a good chunk were still on xp but it had more up to date browsers.
