Now that I'm a customer instead of the VAR everytime I challenge a vendor on a security issue, the answer is either FDA device no changes allowed or just make sure it's on your secure network. If I get in early enough, I can bounce a vendor in RFP, but some days, we're stuck with a product that cries to be rooted.
The original MUMPS started on VMS VAX computers. Security was baked into the operating system. Users ran in captive accounts restricted to application access. You could run multiple departments on one platform with restricted rights. The grandchild, CACHE now runs on UNIX and Windows as another back end database.
>>>move the source code and the signing key to Germany
Not to Germany. Rather putting the source into encrypted file system spread across multiple independent countries. (RAIJ, Redundant Array of Independent Jurisdictions). You can have the file system fragments here in the United States, the German, Irish, Chinese, Brazilian, . . . are of course not covered and need to be addressed in each country.
I'm at a medical center where pagers are still in use. Why? Pagers work in the basements and don't drop signal when you're inside a large building away from a window. We can request an upgraded 2-way pager, but most at best a pager will alert you and you can either pick up a phone or move to location where your phone has a signal. Under trial are VOIP phones that use our local Wi-Fi for staff on the floor to have texting & voice. During a prolong blackout, paging continued to work long after cell coverage had died.
And for the politically correct, social just warriors, etc... man in the sense of person
You carry a laptop, you carry a live boot USB stick/CD, You carry encrypted media, possibly the same as a boot USB. Your counterpart, possibly in another country, carries the decryption key. You carry his decryption key. Never cross an international border together.
Encryption or physical destruction. Failed media replaced under vendor's field service is destroyed. Most vendors will add a surcharge to their service agreements that allow failed media to remain on site for destruction rather be be RMA'd. If not, well then bill me.
>>>The shuttle was a crap vision that never came to be
The vision of the shuttle never came to be. Originally, the booster was planned as a rocket plan, capable of returning to KSC for refueling. The mass of the wings deployed were dictated by having to meet USAF requirements that the shuttle could return to Vandenberg. Because you know we had so many shuttle launches from California. That mass required pushing the space shuttle main engine beyond original design capacity. And that meant a full rebuild after every mission.
The original vision was possible and could still be flying if scope creep had been shut down in the 70's.
Google may or may not consider this a business model, but what it does do is put the DSL & cable internet providers on notice that there may be another option. Since the decline of competition and the retirement of "sharing" that last mile, the only two options have been cable or phone company for internet access. 14 years ago, PacBell was laying fiber to San Diego neighborhoods, that project got canned when AT&T swallowed PacBell. Maybe Google could pick up those strands for $2.00. I'll chip in.
In the corporate world, after every merger or takeover I've seen, non essential employees are shown the door. If we can do without for a day, why not a week, why not a month, let's go for all year. The worst thing will be having to fondle yourself at the airport.
Short of an actual man in the middle attack, with rifles and warrants, your information doesn't get mirrored to the NSA's data center. Being able to see your packet in transit means security.
RAD-50. My first civilian job was support a database using RAD-50 on PDPs. We marched customers from PDP to VAX to Alphaservers before the new management announced the SQL/IIS port. They took a company with over 50 percent market share (Realtor/Real Estate agent) desktops to 5 five percent in 10 years. One customer jumped from a PDP 11/84 straight to an Alphaserver 1000.
When you buy a rack mounted unit that does this, it's sometimes called a terminal server. You can provide network to serial access, enable unique passwords on each device and create access lists. When I managed customer equipment, I used to require a DECserver and modem/phone line for last ditch access. In this case, I had firewall, switch, router and console access. Much of this kit is can be found used or see Vnetek. I understand Cisco also makes comparable product. You can pair this with virtual comm port driver, letting you drive these units from a central location.
Answer number 2, you need to put a business risk into supporting antique systems. Cost of replacement, downtime to find part vs lost business. Consider stocking in house pre staged replacement systems.
At Coyote Road Services we specialize in creative uses for powerful magnets. Over the years, our company has coordinated many road closures and infrastructure upgrades. The skilled technicians and engineers use top rated ACME equipment in our projects. Coyote Road Services, call and one of our agents will take you to lunch and go over your project plan.
Cool and Unhackable, with documented uptimes over a decade on single servers. If the business really cares about uptime it's probably still using VMS. Of course the support staff was laid off because no one ever need to work on that system and it hasn't been rebooted since the big power outage 6 or 7 years ago.
Well technically if you have marketing but no engineering then your ratio is infinite because you are dividing by zero.
That's the most efficient business model. Companies like HP for example are laying off or selling their research and development teams focusing on the spam and telemarketing. Senior management collects their bonus for making the company more effective. When perfected, you're left with an imaginary company.
C. M. Kornbluth's estate called, they want credit or they'll file DMCA take down notices for infringement of The Marching Morons. Education vs intelligence vs training to use tools. How bright does anyone need to be when the Oracle at Google can answer most question?
A patient or referring physician would hardly ever use that data. That might be given out on a CD. The original full data scan is never given to a patient.
I don't know what cut rate medical care you have, but's it's common to source the original images for review by when seeking a second opinion, at least in California. Images are generally burned to DVD, some services provide shared encrypted access to image servers. Archive graphics can be reloaded to the server by phone. Legally, there's a 7 year retention for adult records, copies must be made available to patients on request.
Generally, an incident like this will be traced to the submarine commander skipping the surfacing protocols spelled out in the exercise tasking. The submarine CO has everyone tracked, knows where everyone is and can torpedo at will. The reality is there are surfacing protocols, signals and course/speed specified to avoid collisions built into any ASW exercise. USS Leftwich collided with submarine in 1982 during exercises. The Leftwich CO and bridge watch were cleared and commended for rapid damage control reaction and rendering assistance. The submarine CO was selected to pursue other career options.
Point to consider is the Imperial Japanese Navy design philosophy. Carriers, like their planes, were glass jawed fighters. The carriers were fast, could cycle planes quickly. This came by eliminating armored flight decks, compartmentalization and blast shielding on weapon elevators. Midway caught the Japanese with hanger bays full of armed and fueled aircraft. Dropping a single bomb or two into that was like dropping a match into a grill soaked with extra lighter fluid.
The American carriers of the time carried more armor, added luxuries like CO2 flooding on aviation fuel systems and had crews trained in isolating damage and restoring services. Yorktown reported sunk at Coral Sea twice, made her way back to Pearl for a 3 day miracle refit. Combat ready she absorbed two airstrikes and submarine torpedoing before finally sinking.
The carriers of today's navy build on the that tradition. USS Enterprise had two iron bombs go off on her flight deck on station off the Vietnamese coast. The crew repaired damages in few hours and she continued flight operations.

The key difference is the VAX measure uptime in years.

It's more likely it took a week before any staff members noticed students were doing "fun" things with iPads.

It would be nice if the Chinese were willing to do that. Maybe as a tourist attraction?
