I was talking to someone a couple of weeks ago who is planning some wireless installations. He asked me how seriously is HIPAA, PCI etc taken:

HIPAA has been extended with the HITECH Act of 2009. The sad thing is that you can be compliant with both HIPAA and HITECH and still have a security breach. So just meeting the HITECH guidelines is too short. We should be absolutely paranoid about a data breach. HITECH is very serious. For example, if more than 500 PHI records are lost, the health provide must announce this to local media and report how many records they lost on this website:

Success Stories

I literally just came out of the testing centre having taken the CWDP exam. The certification process opened my mind to different techniques and solutions. This knowledge can only broaden your perspective. Great job, CWNP, you have a great thing going on here.
-Darren

Working through the CWNP coursework and certifications helped not only to deepen my technical knowledge and understanding, but also it boosted my confidence. The hard work it took to earn my CWNE has been rewarding in so many ways.

I want to commend you and all at CWNP for having a great organization. You really 'raise the bar' on knowing Wi-Fi well. I have learned a ton of information that is helping my job experience and personal career goals, because of my CWAP/CWDP/CWSP studies. Kudos to all at CWNP.
