2019 Identity Protection and Data Breaches Survey 4iQ
A survey of over 2,300 US adults found that nearly half reported being notified that their personally identifiable information (PII) was stolen. While 84% of victims were offered identity protection services after a breach, over half did not enroll. Younger respondents were more likely than older generations to consider offering such services a sufficient response to a data breach. Overall, many respondents felt unprotected by companies, employers, and the government when it comes to protecting their PII and responding to cybercrimes.

Adjusting Your Security Controls: It’s the New NormalPriyanka Aash
Most of us learned cybersecurity practices based on the application of controls that were part of a framework. Once the framework was implemented then the controls didn’t change often. It’s time to adjust our thinking and recognize that on-going adjustment of controls may be a better indicator of cyber-maturity than adherence to any framework.

INFOGRAPHIC: The Evolution of Data PrivacySymantec
The document discusses the growing issue of data privacy and protection as data volumes continue to rapidly increase. It notes that by 2020 there will be 40 zettabytes of digital data, and many businesses are unprepared to properly handle and protect this data. The EU's new General Data Protection Regulation will require businesses to be more accountable with data and comply with regulations like mandatory breach notification, data subject rights, and restrictions on consumer profiling. Proper compliance will require businesses to know exactly what data they have, where it is stored, who has access, and how it is being used.
The FBI is the lead federal agency for investigating malicious cyber activity by criminals, nation-state adversaries, and terrorists. To fulfill this mission, the FBI often develops resources to enhance operations and collaboration. One such resource is the FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) which provides the public with a trustworthy and convenient mechanism for reporting information concerning suspected Internet-facilitated criminal activity. At the end of every year, the IC3 collates information collected into an annual report.

Over half of consumers experienced a security incident in the past year, with Millennials at highest risk of having accounts compromised. While most consumers want additional security from companies beyond passwords, 71% reuse passwords across multiple accounts. The use of two-factor authentication is increasing, from 39% in 2015 to 46% in 2016, though some consumers are still unfamiliar with it or do not know how to set it up. Consumers hold businesses primarily responsible for protecting their accounts but over a third will cancel accounts after a breach.
Cybercriminals will leverage various techniques in 2020 to steal consumers' personal and financial information, according to Experian's annual data breach industry forecast. These include using text messages ("smishing") disguised as fundraising initiatives to target online communities, hacking into unsecured public Wi-Fi networks using drones, and creating fake videos and audio ("deepfakes") to disrupt large enterprises and governments. Experian predicts identity theft will rise as cybercriminals exploit the growing use of mobile payments at venues like concerts and sporting events. Organizations must strengthen defenses against these evolving cyberthreats through employee training, security precautions, and rapid response planning.
This document discusses cybercrime and its economic impacts. It reports that the global cost of cybercrime is estimated to be $445 billion annually, and that over 800 million people were affected by cyber espionage and theft in 2013. Financial losses from cybertheft could cause up to 150,000 job losses in Europe. Cybercrime damages trade, competitiveness, innovation and global economic growth by slowing the pace of innovation. Governments are called on to systematically collect and publish cybercrime data to help countries and companies assess risks and policies.
In 2017, there were over 1,765 data breach incidents compromising over 2.6 billion records. The largest breaches stemmed from poor security practices and accidental data exposures, rather than external hacking attacks. Notable breaches included the Equifax breach of 147 million Americans' personal data due to unpatched vulnerabilities, and accidental exposures of personal data by Deep Root Analytics, River City Media, and Alteryx due to misconfigured cloud storage settings. Looking ahead, new regulations like the EU's GDPR have the potential to increase transparency around data breaches.

The board of directors is expected to ensure that management has identified and developed processes to mitigate risks facing the organization, including risks arising from data theft and the loss of information. Unfortunately, recent experience suggests that companies are not doing a sufficient job of securing this data. In this Closer Look, we examine they types of cyberattacks that occur and how companies respond to them.
We ask:
• What steps can the board take to prevent, monitor, and mitigate data theft?
• What data, metrics, and information should board members review to satisfy themselves that management has taken proper steps to minimize cyber risks?
• What qualifications should a board member have in order to constructively contribute to boardroom discussions on cybersecurity?
• How difficult is it to find board candidates with these skills?
Lessons v on fraud awareness (digital forensics) [autosaved]Kolluru N Rao
Digital forensics is the scientific process of analyzing digital evidence from computers, mobile devices, and other electronic storage mediums. It involves securely acquiring and preserving digital evidence, extracting and analyzing relevant information, and documenting the process to present findings in a court of law. The key stages of digital forensics are identification, collection, analysis, interpretation, documentation and presentation of digital evidence. There are several branches of digital forensics including network forensics, firewall forensics, database forensics, mobile device forensics, and email forensics. Maintaining a proper chain of custody is also important to ensure digital evidence remains untampered and admissible in court.
- Cybersecurity spending has grown significantly over the past decade, from $3.5 billion in 2004 to an estimated $120 billion in 2017, driven largely by increasing cybercrime.
- Many large companies have significantly increased their cybersecurity budgets in response, including Bank of America which has an unlimited budget for cybersecurity, JPMorgan Chase which doubled its budget to $500 million, and Microsoft which invests over $1 billion annually.
- However, small and medium businesses are particularly vulnerable as they bear 72% of cyber attacks but often lack the resources of larger companies to implement robust cybersecurity programs. Highground Cyber aims to help small and mid-market CEOs protect their companies through comprehensive cybersecurity solutions.

Main Street vs. Wall Street: Who is to Blame for Data Breaches?Brunswick Group
Our analysis of major data breaches at US publicly traded companies offers rare insight into how consumers apportion responsibility for preventing data breaches. Key findings from the survey include:
• Ninety-four percent of consumers surveyed are concerned about retail data breaches.
• Consumers are nearly as likely to hold retailers responsible for data breaches (61 percent) as the criminals themselves (79 percent). Only 34 percent blame the banks that issue debit and credit cards.
• Seventy-five percent believe that retailers are not doing enough to prevent infiltrations into their customer data and payment systems.
• Seventy percent of respondents believe that retailers should be held financially responsible for consumer losses that result from a breach; not banks or card issuers.
• Finally – and most troubling – 34 percent of those surveyed report that they no longer shop at a specific retailer due to a past data breach issue.
Combating Cybersecurity Challenges with Advanced AnalyticsCognizant
Using an AI-powered analytics platform, IT organizations can shift from a reactive approach to security breaches, to proactively identifying increasingly sophisticated threat vectors and quickly resolving exploitable vulnerabilities.
Most tech and healthcare executives surveyed viewed cyber attacks as a serious threat to their business and data. While over half were moderately confident in their own security, far fewer were confident in their partners' security. In response, 98% of companies are maintaining or increasing cybersecurity resources, focusing more on response than prevention. Over half of companies now offer cybersecurity as part of their products and services. Increased media coverage has heightened awareness of cyber threats for many executives.

This document discusses the importance of digital trust for businesses. It defines digital trust as confidence in how a company handles personal data. There are four keys to building digital trust: security, privacy/data control, benefit/value, and accountability. The document also summarizes a survey that found only 45% of consumers trust the security of their personal data. While consumers are willing to share some data for benefits, they do not want data shared with third parties. As devices and the "Internet of Things" grow, protecting consumer data and privacy will be even more important for companies. Building digital trust can provide competitive advantages for companies.
The document is a summary report of a study on consumer digital security concerns and practices. Some of the key findings include:
- 80% of consumers worry about online security and 45% are very or extremely concerned about their accounts being hacked.
- In the past year, 40% of consumers experienced a security incident like a data breach or hacked account.
- Consumers have little confidence in passwords and tend to reuse the same few passwords across many accounts, putting their security at high risk.
- While two-factor authentication provides stronger security, 61% of consumers have not enabled it due to lack of awareness, understanding, or companies not offering it.
- Consumers want help protecting
Why is cyber security a disruption in the digital economyMark Albala
As we enter the digital economy, companies will quickly realize that the differentiator in the digital economy is information and information being a valuable resource is subject to theft, hacking, phishing and a host of other issues which compromise a company’s ability to participate in the digital economy. Cybersecurity misfires compromise the trust of buyers and partners necessary to participate in the digital economy. It is up to every company to ensure that the information shared with them is protected to the best of their ability and proactively notify persons and organizations who entrust their information necessary to transact business (any personal identity information including but not limited to addresses, credit card information, social security numbers, account information, credit information, medical records, etc.) with any potential compromises which can yield harm to them by that information either being used maliciously or shared with others.
The digital economy is different than other versions of commerce because in the digital economy, information is the lifeblood of digital commerce that passes through the hands of many platforms involved in a digital event. Each of these platforms are an opportunity to wreak havoc on your well-intended but incomplete intents to protect the information contained within the network you control. In the digital economy, it is not only the network you control, but the platforms that touch the personal data entrusted to you as a means of enabling digital commerce, and several techniques have begun to emerge to protect personal information contained within your information domain and the domain of platforms participating in digital commerce.
Because the life blood of the digital economy is information, information hacked in the digital economy is akin to shrinkage in the legacy economy. Both are means to directly attack your bottom line, whether it is redirecting customers elsewhere because they don’t trust your privacy program, ransomware which makes your site or one of your partner platform sites dangerous to use or some other reason which challenges your ability to participate in the digital economy. Shrinking the potential market share because of information safety and security challenges is a disruption, making cyber-security a disruptive activity, particularly if it is not dealt with swiftly.
If your cyber-security program is focused entirely on protecting the information housed in your four walls, you have exposed yourself to problems you will have difficulty in identifying both the source and the entry point of these issues.
The document summarizes the findings of a global study on consumer confidence and trust in mobile technologies. It found that while mobile device usage is widespread, many users lack confidence in the security of their devices and the networks and services they access. The rapid growth of mobile threats has not been matched with adequate security precautions by users. Building greater trust will require coordinated efforts across the entire mobile industry to address security and reliability issues.

Who is the next target and how is big data related ulf mattssonUlf Mattsson
The document discusses data security threats and trends related to big data and recent high-profile data breaches. It notes that targeted malware and data breaches are among the top security pressures according to a 2014 report. The Target breach is discussed in which malware scraped memory on point-of-sale devices to steal payment card data, some of which was sent to servers in Russia. New forms of malware are emerging that use similar memory scraping techniques, posing risks to any organization that processes sensitive data. The cost of cybercrime is growing significantly and attacks are becoming more sophisticated faster than defenses can improve. New approaches to data security focusing on tokenization and analysis of abnormal traffic patterns are discussed as alternatives to traditional approaches like encryption and access controls that
- More than 80% of survey respondents across 5 countries agreed that online privacy is an important issue.
- The top 3 privacy concerns were related to personal finances: hacking of bank accounts, fraud transactions, and credit/debit card misuse.
- However, respondents also felt most protected in these financial areas, perhaps because banks act quickly to remedy issues.
- Most users believe privacy is a shared responsibility between governments, companies, and individuals, but few are adequately protecting themselves online.

CBIZ Cyber Security - What Every Business Needs to KnowCBIZ, Inc.
The high cost of data breaches for companies is outlined. In 2015, the average cost of a data breach in the US was $6.5 million, a 10% increase over 2014. Small business cyber attacks nearly doubled from 2011 to 2014. The healthcare and financial services sectors experience the most breaches, with hacking and stolen devices being the most common causes of data loss. Stringent laws and regulations, advances in technology, global outsourcing, and user error all contribute to why companies need cyber liability and security protection.
This document discusses how organizations are in the "Age of Data" where data creation and collection has exploded over the last decade. While data provides opportunities for increased efficiencies and competitive advantages, it also risks if lost or leaked. The true winners will seize opportunities while overcoming risks. It notes that data is fueling innovation across industries but also raises privacy concerns from users. Complete data control and protection is needed to unlock the full value of data by providing access only to those who should have it while protecting it from loss or leaks.

Have you ever heard that user-generated content or video testimonials can take your brand to the next level? We will explore how you can effectively use video testimonials to leverage and boost your sales, content strategy, and increase your CRM data.🤯
We will dig deeper into:
1. How to capture video testimonials that convert from your audience 🎥
2. How to leverage your testimonials to boost your sales 💲
3. How you can capture more CRM data to understand your audience better through video testimonials. 📊
Storytelling is an incredibly valuable tool to share data and information. To get the most impact from stories there are a number of key ingredients. These are based on science and human nature. Using these elements in a story you can deliver information impactfully, ensure action and drive change.
3. It’s official: consumers do not feel their
private data is being kept private
Looking around at the headlines, where high-
profile breach after high-profile breach is
documented, the lack of trust in data security is
no surprise.
Whether it be through a corporate breach, where
consumers’ confidential information is revealed as
part of thousands of records stolen or
inappropriately handled, or an attack that they
themselves initiate via inappropriate use of their
personal computer or mobile phone, or anything in
between, breaches have caused consumer distrust
to become rampant when it comes to whether or
not their personal information is being kept safe.
This is hammered home in a recent Global Survey
on Internet Security and Trust report from
CIGI-Ipsos, in which only 38 percent of consumers
surveyed trusted that their activities on the
internet are not being monitored.
64%
of consumers are more concerned
about their online privacy than a

4. Stop for a moment and think
How much of our lives are now conducted online,
or are connected in some way?
When you wake up in the morning, you likely
check personal and perhaps work email from a
tablet or mobile device. You might update
Facebook, Instagram or Twitter. You may ask your
Amazon Echo what the weather and traffic is like
on your way to work. You might place a grocery
order online, or order a new supply of toilet paper.
On the ride into work, you might use a Bluetooth
headset to listen to voice mails or catch up on the
day’s headlines.
When a large majority of our everyday life is
conducted online, how did the industry get to a
point where the consumers who have bought
into this “connected vision” don’t feel safe being
online?

5. Data breaches have consequences far
beyond the fines
Symantec conducted a survey on privacy within
the European Union, and found that 59 percent of
respondents have experienced a data protection
issue in the past.
Reported issues included being notified of a data
breach by a company that had access to some of
their personal information, having an email or
social media account hacked, having bank details
stolen, being a victim of online identify theft,
getting a computer virus, or responding to an
online scam or fake email.
Overall, 57 percent of respondents reported being
worried that their data is not safe.

6. The more connected online, the greater
the risk
The National Telecommunications & Information
Administration (NTIA) in May released a report
that correlates how connected we are online with
a higher risk of data breaches.
The report found that 9 percent of online house-
holds that used just one type of computing
device (such as a desktop, laptop, tablet,
Internet-connected mobile phone, wearable
device, or TV-connected device) reported a
security breach.
While 31 percent of those that used at least five
different types of devices reported a breach.

7. Fears and distrust about privacy, security
change how consumers use the Internet
Furthermore, there is a potential economic impact
to consumers’ distrust. The report also found that
consumers are so concerned with privacy and
security on the Internet that their household
opted out of participation in certain online
activities.
Forty-five percent of online households reported
that these concerns stopped them from
conducting financial transactions, buying goods or
services, posting on social networks, or
expressing opinions on controversial or political
issues via the Internet, and 30 percent refrained
from at least two of these activities. In households
that experienced a breach, these percentages are
even higher.
This fear and distrust is not without good reason.
In Symantec’s April 2016 Internet Security Threat
Report (ISTR), the security firm estimated that if
all breaches that occurred in 2015 reported the
number of consumers worldwide impacted, it
would total an estimated half-billion people.

8. Credit card numbers? Actually, there’s
a new kid in town
Financial information such as credit card
numbers are still coveted information, although
their per-card value is going down and their shelf
life is short since credit card companies and credit
card owners are using technology to shut down
fraudulent transactions quickly.
Instead, the new sought-after information
being targeted is information from insurance,
government and healthcare organizations.
The more details someone has about an
individual, the easier it is to commit identity fraud,
and targeting these groups provides more
complete profiles of individuals to criminals.
Real names are still the most common
(78 percent) type of information exposed,
according to the ISTR, followed by home
addresses, birth dates, Government IDs (such as
Social Security numbers), medical records, and
financial information.
The more details someone has about
a person, the easier it is to commit

9. The key to success, tailor the experience
to meet the individual user
Businesses can and should be doing much more
to secure customers’ private and oftentimes
sensitive information, reducing the risk for
everyone.
History has shown that when encryption
solutions—including email encryption—are
deployed properly, they work well.
But communications with customers requires a
different set of criteria than internal
communications or communications with partners.
User experience is key, according to a recent
research note from Gartner, consumers are likely
to resist the installation of third-party software or
apps on their devices to access secured content.
FOCUS ON USER EXPERIENCE
Through 2020, 95% of cloud
security failures will be the
customer’s fault. *Gartner

10. So, how can you better protect your
customers?
In summary, consumers today have become much
more discerning about their online activities, and
know controlling their online activity plays a role
in helping protect their privacy.
The organizations they do business with need to
take the security of customers’ private data just as
seriously, and invest the time, effort and budget
into ensuring its safety.
