Do you have any reoccurring jobs that should be a part of the server, instead of dragging all the data local to be diced up and sent back? How secure is your pipe to the data? Do you have certificates in place allowing you to gain trust? This gets really intense because we are going through the same security issues with our ERP upgrade currently. We have 10 separate servers that perform a specific job and they are not speaking to the primary server because of certificate FUBAR. Two of our customers are demanding that we step up to this set of standards that I have no earthly idea what it's name is. This is all roll out from the Target breech last winter. -- Stephen Russell Sr. Analyst Ring Container Technology Oakland TN 901.246-0159 cell --- StripMime Report -- processed MIME parts --- multipart/alternative text/plain (text body -- kept) text/html --- _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/cajidmylpwrd+e4wqjqqha5rd5_r5juvtyizrfcyyrdohrwo...@mail.gmail.com ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
