Day One Jet Lag – McKesson Healthcare IT Solutions finally at RSA? February 14, 2011

Yes! I spent almost an hour speaking with McKesson’s John B. Sapp Jr. tonight at a private security leader’s function at the Four Seasons Hotel sponsored by Lancope. John reports to the Office of the CTO in Alpharetta as the Director of Product Development Standards for Security, Risk and Compliance. John’s responsibility is to align all 16 of McKesson’s product groups to offer consistency in information security. This includes secure code development, web application security, authentication standards and secure product life-cycle development.
John has a remarkably tough road to travel. I’m initially impressed with John’s critical thinking skills and I think he really gets it. The challenge of aligning these product groups to the same security standards seems like a daunting task to most information security professionals, but not to John. Even better, John believes that my organization is an important strategic partner with McKesson and I look forward to discussing information security challenges in health care one on one with him later this week.
More riveting headlines from RSA Day 2 tomorrow.
