IT Network Question...........
My daughter is an Office Manager in a Doctor's Office. This office gets a periodic inspection from the Gov't (or agent), to see and verify if their office is "HIPA" compliant.
She called me today with this question. They got a visit today, and the computer technician stated, that the present Microsoft WIN7 Pro, which is on all their PC's, is NOT secure enough to be HIPA compliant. That this office needs to upgrade to WIN10 to meet the current HIPA standards. This technician also claims, that Microsoft will soon stop supporting WIN7.
So I am thinking, isn't a PC's security based on a number of things, ie: OS security, Firewalls, Anti-virus, Anti-Spam, and Anti-Malware programs which are all third party add-ons..???
Is this legitimate or sales hype to sell this office all new PC's....???
