Data Privacy Emerging Issues: A 2012 Update

07.25.2012

Data privacy issues have been a top concern in many business industries today. Much of the data collected and stored is of a highly sensitive nature and if lost or stolen could open firm up to huge lawsuits. Thieves and hackers are becoming ever more sophisticated in the planning and execution of their attacks. You need to be ready by building an integrated data protection program from a policy perspective in order to be secure.
