UK: Sports body locks down critical data

Daniel Thomas writes on vnunet.com:

The English Institute of Sport (EIS) has tightened IT security to ensure that sensitive medical details about famous athletes and their training programmes cannot be stolen by hackers.

The organisation, which provides medical, nutritional and performance-related support to English athletes participating at Commonwealth and Olympic Games standard, has worked with IT supplier Lynx Technology to install the security systems at nine regional centres and 30 satellite offices.
