when i said that they have extremely valible data i am meaning that this
genetic reasearch
company has the medical records, detatild information on peoples relatives
back to the middle ages
and the DNA codes of every person in this country.

now thats one jucy database.

You guys can hopfully see now how ctritical this database is and how
protection of it is essential.


This is what i have understand of you guys so far.

Encryption in TSM is always done on the TSM B/A-Client there do you put a
56bit encryption key on the data witch cannot be
retreved without the key. So they need to come up with some sort of disaster
Recovery plan, regarding the key retrival if the
system admins are unavalible.

If what you are saying Kyle Sparger is true then this 56bit key is probably
not good enugh for them. I am no expert in Security and don?t know mutch
about hacking. I don?t want to sound to paranoyed but then again who knows.

This database is the brain, the hart and the lung of the company if it get
exposed, every employ there can start lookin for new job the same day.
