Today's Tip: Identity Theft and Data Security
SITUATION
2005 was the worst cybercrime year ever! Over 55 million Americans were made
vulnerable to identity theft by computer breaches and break-ins, starting in March with
ChoicePoint's loss of 145,000 records and continuing through December with large losses
by Marriott and Ford Motor Company. 2005 will go down in history as the year identity theft
and data security became a nationwide concern, as no organization seemed immune; from
Blockbuster, Time Warner and Iron Mountain to H&R Block, Bank of America and LexisNexis.
Even U.C. Berkeley and Harvard University were unable to protect computers containing sensitive individual data.
More details.
OPPORTUNITY
While concern is greater than ever, data protection bills in Congress appear stalled,
leaving securing data and preventing ID theft in the hands of the the private sector. Some state
laws mandate data protection, even suggesting encryption, but leave the details to the IT industry.
Yet, even in the face of lawsuits and bad publicity, surveys show that most executives, while they
believe data security is a top priority, are still not doing enough to protect it. THEY NEED YOUR HELP.
 |
Organizations large and small in every industry segment are vulnerable. Help them start the new year by
assessing and implementing data security measures. |
|
Consumer's also need solutions to protect growing archives of personal data, including image, music and video files.
In IDC's Home Data Protection, 2005 report, Robert Gray, research Vice President, Worldwide Storage
Systems research states, "Consumers are not very different from commercial IT users. They have a
lot of underprotected data and believe they should be doing something about it."
