HIPPA? From: The EDUCAUSE Security Constituent Group Listserv [mailto:SECURITY () LISTSERV EDUCAUSE EDU] On Behalf Of Jim Pardonek Sent: Wednesday, November 28, 2012 5:19 PM To: SECURITY () LISTSERV EDUCAUSE EDU Subject: [SECURITY] The Wisdom of Allowing an Open Port Good Afternoon, On our hospital campus we have an "open" wlan that requires the usual rudimentary form of authentication (some email address and your name) to gain access, similar to a hotel portal. Some of the medical staff want us to open port 1373 TCP so that they can access our GroupWise (I know) servers using the regular client application. Other than the normal reasons for keeping everything except 80 and 443 closed, I'm looking to see if anyone would like to weigh in on reasons for and against opening this up. Thanks, Jim James Pardonek, CISSP, CEH Information Security Officer Loyola University Chicago 1032 W. Sheridan Road | Chicago, IL 60660 *: (773) 508-6086
