Hola! ¿Cómo estás?
Twenty years ago I was a security consultant; hospitals and govt entities were our major clients. Our clients would call in one of the big consultancies like Arthur Andersen, who in turn would call in my firm, to do security audits, etc. Because of the time length I feel it’s ok to share the following. The big firms that called us in ignored most of our recommendations because they felt it would make them look bad to the clients. This included not changing default application passwords, and other equally serious matters. Once, a year later, I checked and the default password had not been changed. To insure my firm would be called in for future work by the big name firms, I was told to let the matter rest. CTO’s need to know that this happens. Not just with hospitals who handle patient records but even more serious situations. They need to tell their Arthur Andersen, E&Y etc site manager that they demand full and complete reports of vulnerabilities. If I were still in that business I’d definitely recommend ExpressVPN, especially if it can be integrated with a RADIUS/Keyfob or Biometric system. You hear about these big breaches. I can almost guarantee you that the weakness was known about before the breach, but for one reason or another it wasn’t fixed. The IT staff didn’t want to be embarrassed, no fast track change management system for handling security patch installation into production existed, etc. Note that people using cloud based apps does not address this matter. It’s a common saying that the human element is the weak link when it comes to security. This is true, but truth of this statement is much more profound than people know.
