Data Security Issues Escalate as Risk Management Evolves

Data security is a widespread problem for companies across-the-board. Any entity with a presence on the Internet, with sensitive data on servers connected to the Internet, or transmitting data such as credit card payments, is exposed to this risk. Today, this covers just about all businesses and other organizations, right down to the mom-and-pop shops performing credit card transactions. As data gets passed around at increasing rates, the liability of data breaches escalates with it. "Data Security Issues Escalate as Risk Management Evolves," a new Advisen special report, sponsored by Swett & Crawford, examines the growing threat to data security for companies of all sizes. This comprehensive report reveals the explosive costs of data security breaches, reviews recent changes to consumer privacy laws, outlines recommended changes to IT security and risk management procedures, and discusses specialized insurance coverages available for when companies experience data security events. It also includes an appendix containing a review of the largest and most compelling data security breaches over the past decade.
