Smith and I had a productive software security concerns conversation with Vipul this past Thursday (6/1/17). One of the questions we asked him was if Ebix has some sort of ISO certification like ISO 9126 and found that they do not. Per Vipul, Ebix is CMMI level 5 compliant and explained that this accreditation has more rigorous requirements than ISO certification. Vipul will share a framework document that lists ten security/risk assessment tenets that Ebix follows to build secure web application developer. As we discussed your software exploit findings, he stated that numerous tests were conducted by the Ebix QA team to try and sidestep the VISION authentication process but could not defeat it. This past Thursday, you sent us an email mentioning that you spent some more time last week trying to enter VISION without authenticating and could not gain access to meaningful areas. Based on your testing outcomes and reassurance from Vipul, I believe we are confident that malicious code cannot be injected into VISION without access to an existing user account. This coming Tuesday (6/6/17), Vipul will present a plan that outlines how he will address our security concerns. He will also share a security patch date with us. As the submitter of iTrack ticket 1258, Vipul will work with you and ensure that all our security concerns are addressed satisfactorily. …show more content…
He went on to mention that Ebix usually only takes this step once the software is deemed as finished. VISION was deployed over a year and a half ago and we still have numerous phases left, so we suggested that this might be an appropriate juncture to have an external auditor review VISION, particularly, since we have found vulnerable

    According to the Financials, Unit #35 was given a credit (Acct #5200 Electric) of $12.00 in both September and October. I'm assuming it's for the use of the fan, but I could be wrong. Unfortunately, the guys Ed hired will do whatever he tells them to because they get paid for anything and everything they do...right or wrong. In my opinion, professional contractors should tell Ed how problems should be fixed and give him a bid.…

    Throughout the course of this semester, taking TCF 201 has taught me about, even though I come to the conclusion that going in this direction of actually being a filmmaker is not for me, in the end. However, it did teach me a great deal. I never knew how much work could go into producing and directing your own work, I mean I had a general idea, but nothing to this magnitude of the amount of work that it takes, plus the hours of sleep that I have lost took a toll on me as well. But it was all worth it.…

    I found your document informative and well-written. I learned a lot about this situation, which is my first time hearing about it.
