Winter Quarter at DePaul University

This semester we are VERY busy. Jeff is taking 1)Network Security class and 2)Information Security Management. I am taking just one class, Foundations in Network Telecommunications.

For those of our friends/family who are not aware of it, we are acting in several capacities at work.

Writers: We are currently writing two books on protecting yourself from litigation through information security for the Case Strategies conferences in March (San Francisco), April (Tampa), June (Las Vegas) and July (Orlando). Additionally we have been asked to speak at the July Indulge conference in Orlando, and we will be talking about the new stimulus bill that affects HIPAA, and how Legal Nurses can protect themselves by adhering to this regulation.

Legal Department: Veronica has taken on an appeals case in Ohio for a man that appears to have been wrongfully convicted of murder. She is researching the medical foundation of the shaken baby diagnosis, and Jeff and I are researching case law. We have found a case out of the Wisconsin Court of Appeals that is quite similar, and are working with the NAACP to try and get his appeals case heard in Ohio.

Information Security Analysts: We have taken on the tasks of writing the policies, revising procedures relating to credit card processing, implementing PCI standards and other info sec duties.

Frontiers of Law in China

We are submitting an article to Frontiers of Law in China. We will be writing about "computer security and how it affects legal issues in different countries around the globe. We would like to write it from the perspective of several diverse countries (China, UK and the US) and how they are handling the problem of information security. We would like to focus on the positive ways each country handles their computer security issues, it will help readers understand the challenges that face each unique country. Readers will develop mutual respect as we all look for technology and solutions that will help us in our quest to keep people's private information safe."
