Data Breaches: Trends, costs and best practices
IT Governance, Nov 2011, Pages: 115
Data Breaches: Trends, Costs and Best Practices helps with securing personal and corporate data and responding to data breaches.
Data breaches: Trends, costs and best practices, from IT Governance Publishing, gives you the key information and worldwide trends in corporate data breaches - those that affect personally identifiable information and contravene laws such as the UK Data Protection Act, HIPAA and so on - and identifies best practice for avoiding business, regulatory and brand damage.
As organisations work out how to tackle their data security, this report gives valuable insights and guidance.
This authoritative report is aimed at executives, information security managers, risk managers, auditors, compliance managers, stakeholders and data controllers worldwide. It assesses the reality in today's data breach landscape, recognises the real, damaging trends that affect businesses, stakeholders and individuals and identifies current and emerging best practice in controlling the risks - and costs - arising from inadequate security in relation to personal data.
Data breaches - key risk areas
This report, which draws on an IT Governance survey as well as extensive research of public and private information resources, contains authoritative and practical recommendations on tackling data breach risk, and is relevant to any organisation that uses or might be at risk from:
- Laptops
- Portable storage media
- Hacking
- Web application vulnerabilities
- Phishing, pharming and whaling
- Social engineering
- Incident response, remediation and recovery
The failure of imagination at the heart of data insecurity.
Critically, this report identifies the real failures at the heart of data insecurity - in the IT Governance survey, for example, sixty-eight percent of employees admitted to bypassing their employers’ information security controls in order to do their jobs.
This finding suggests that, even in some of the most sophisticated and security-conscious organisations, managers are failing to understand the correct balance between the requirements in respect of confidentiality and availability of information. By implementing the wrong policies and procedures, they are potentially putting their organisations at risk and may be undermining the legitimacy of information security in employees’ eyes.
This report, its findings and recommendations, will help organisations around the world strike the correct balance between data availability and data security.
