Scale and impact of data security issues continue to rise
Recent research has
determined the average cost
of a data breach to be $5.5
million per organization
and an average of $194 per
compromised record.
Studies also found for the
fourth straight year that
organizations’ need to respond
rapidly to data breaches drove
the associated costs higher.

Heated Debate
Retailers and Banks are going head-to-head over who is responsible
“For years, banks have continued
to issue fraud-prone magnetic
stripe cards to U.S. customers,
putting sensitive financial information
at risk while simultaneously touting
the security benefits of next
generation 'PIN and Chip' card
technology for customers in Europe
and dozens of other markets.”
“The NRF should focus its attention on
responding to the harm that security
breaches at several retailers have done
to consumers and their financial
institutions rather than hurling false
allegations blaming the banking
industry for these retail breaches.
Retailers and their processors —
not banks — are responsible for
the systems in their stores that process
payment cards.”

Retailers are doing enough to prevent data breaches,
but the rise in usage of debit cards, credit cards and online payment
systems, as well as increased capabilities of online thieves, means
that data breaches are just the “new normal”

Banks say that retailers are at fault for lacking
the necessary security measures to prevent
cyber-attacks from taking place, and therefore should
be responsible for reissuing cards compromised in a
security breach when the retailer is at fault.
Retailers say that banks are at fault for issuing
cards with faulty technology that leaves
customers prone to security lapses, and therefore
should take steps to ensure credit card security so
the cards are less likely to be corrupted.

Some say that in a situation where a systemic data breach is caused by a retailer’s payment system,
the retailer should be financially responsible for these fraudulent charges,
NOT the credit card issuer. Would this be fair or unfair?
