There are three key points from the document:
1. Data security breaches continue to be a major issue, with more breaches in the first half of 2008 than all of 2007. The legal framework around data privacy and security is growing more complex with regulations from various states, countries, and sectors.
2. Experts recommend a risk-based approach to data security and privacy that involves understanding where data is located, who has access to it, and ensuring appropriate security measures are in place, especially with third parties processing data.
3. The legal responsibilities of companies continue to be clearly defined - they must implement reasonable security measures to protect sensitive consumer data and have plans in place to respond to potential bre

The document discusses how fighting cyber crime in the US has made the country ill-prepared for cyber war. While significant efforts have been made over the last decade to address cyber crime through legislation, security programs, and law enforcement, these have largely viewed the adversary as cyber criminals seeking information for monetary gain. However, cyber war poses fundamentally different threats, as adversaries would seek to damage systems and disrupt infrastructure rather than just steal information. Emerging technologies like cloud computing, mobile devices, and consumerization of IT could further undermine security progress if not addressed with an understanding of threats beyond just cyber crime. To adequately prepare for potential cyber war, a broader view of assets, adversaries, and security strategies is needed.

The Evolution of Data Privacy - A Symantec Information Security Perspective o...Symantec
The European Union’s proposed General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) has left even the most informed confused. This new regulation is designed to update the current legislation which was drafted in a time that was in technology terms, prehistoric.
The Data Protection Directive, drafted back in 1995, harks back to a time when data processing was more about filing
cabinets than data rack enclosures. It’s time to evolve.
1. Regulatory agencies are required to follow a defined rulemaking process when creating new regulations. This includes publishing proposed regulations for public comment and allowing time for feedback before finalizing rules.
2. Many companies do not properly protect customer data, with over half admitting to data breaches. However, customers believe they have a right to control their personal information. This disconnect has eroded trust between organizations and consumers.
3. Regulators are increasingly focused on enforcing data breach notification laws and requiring organizations to take reasonable security measures to prevent breaches. Non-compliance can result in penalties, while implementing best practices helps build a "culture of caring" and regulatory confidence.
The growing awareness of the need of protecting personal information, as well as the necessity for companies to be more accountable for their data collecting and use policies, is driving the trend towards more transparency in data privacy.
The Obama administration made progress on cybersecurity but faced challenges due to believing the private sector would solve issues and misunderstanding how the government works. While an agreement reduced Chinese commercial spying, political and military espionage continued. Edward Snowden damaged US cyber leadership and increased demands for sovereignty. To improve security, the next administration should create consequences for foreign cyber crimes and incentivize security, hold critical infrastructure to high standards, and address international cooperation and data protection.
For today’s digital businesses, being prepared to meet new compliance requirements when storing and managing consumer data will not only minimize risk, but also enable more valued and trusted customer experiences that drive increased loyalty, engagement and revenue. To gain better perspective on this important issue, it’s important to understand:
- The trends driving governmental regulatory shifts and the basic tenets of these new laws
- The challenges faced by executives across the enterprise when managing privacy compliance for consumer data
- The emergence of cloud-based solutions that help businesses manage privacy compliance by acting as end-to-end customer data storage and management solutions that are far more scalable and flexible than legacy systems

PRIVACY AND CYBERSECURITY
For some time now, the discussion regarding the convergence between data privacy and cybersecurity has been raging on (Burn, 2018). There has been new laws being put in place in a bid to regulate the manner in which people’s private data is collected, used, disclosed and disposed (Bhatia et al, 2016). On the hand, cyber-attacks have spirited exponentially as well as numerous cases of data breaches and unauthorized access and use of personal data. There is need for persons and organizations to understand their rights and obligations regarding such critical personal data as health, financial as well as other information that can be identified as critical. This is one area that is now more than ever very critical for business and almost every other sector in our dynamic world. That said, it is only important to delve into this matter, by means of reviewing the new data privacy laws and regulations, and cybersecurity and personal data protection best practices.
In simple sense, with the experienced rise of large amounts of data and machine learning, the issues of privacy and cybersecurity are converging. What was some time ago an abstract concept that was aimed at ensuring that the expectations of our data were protected has now become concrete and critical matter, to match the level of the threats posed by cybercriminals whose would really like to access our data without our authorization. Looking at it more specifically, the biggest threat to our digital selves is that threat of unauthorized access of our personal information. In days gone by, privacy and security were perhaps largely separate functions that seemed to move almost in a parallel manner. Security took the front seat, thanks to the more tangible concerns about it as privacy took a backseat.

PRIVACY AND CYBERSECURITY
For some time now, the discussion regarding the convergence between data privacy and cybersecurity has been raging on (Burn, 2018). There has been new laws being put in place in a bid to regulate the manner in which people’s private data is collected, used, disclosed and disposed (Bhatia et al, 2016). On the hand, cyber-attacks have spirited exponentially as well as numerous cases of data breaches and unauthorized access and use of personal data. There is need for persons and organizations to understand their rights and obligations regarding such critical personal data as health, financial as well as other information that can be identified as critical. This is one area that is now more than ever very critical for business and almost every other sector in our dynamic world. That said, it is only important to delve into this matter, by means of reviewing the new data privacy laws and regulations, and cybersecurity and personal data protection best practices.
In simple sense, with the experienced rise of large amounts of data and machine learning, the issues of privacy and cybersecurity are converging. What was some time ago an abstract concept that was aimed at ensuring that the expectations of our data were protected has now become concrete and critical matter, to match the level of the threats posed by cybercriminals whose would really like to access our data without our authorization. Looking at it more specifically, the biggest threat to our digital selves is that threat of unauthorized access of our personal information. In days gone by, privacy and security were perhaps largely separate functions that seemed to move almost in a parallel manner. Security took the front seat, thanks to the more tangible concerns about it as privacy took a backseat. Nowadays, their lines have met thanks to extensive machine learning techniques that we have in place. Once data is generated, any person who comes into possession of that poses new dangers to not only our privacy but also security.
With all this in mind, it is perhaps too obvious that the world has reacted in a bid to control this problem. In that accord, new data regulations have been put in place to try as much as possible to mitigate the threats posed by data breaches and unauthorized access of personal data. Examples of the recent data protection laws and regulations put in place are the Global Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) that were enforced in May 2018 (Burn, 2018). The regulation brought with it far-reaching alterations in policies regarding privacy and data security in the European Union and ultimately in the whole world.

This document provides a preview of key privacy and data security trends and issues that organizations should prepare for in 2017. It highlights major developments and challenges, such as the implementation of the EU's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), uncertainty around the EU-US Privacy Shield agreement, growing momentum to regulate privacy in internet-connected devices, and increasing privacy litigation and cyber threats. The document advises organizations to undertake assessments, update policies and procedures, and budget adequately to strengthen compliance and mitigate risks arising from these evolving laws, regulations and technologies.
This document discusses trends in data breach litigation and approaches to practical data protection. It provides an overview of data breach litigation trends, including large settlements companies have faced. It also outlines specific steps companies can take to prevent breaches, such as defining what constitutes a breach, establishing response procedures, forming an incident response team, and tracking incidents. The goal is to help companies understand litigation risks and reduce risks of financial liability from data breaches through proactive data protection measures.
The purpose of this paper is to review the topic of data breach from two perspectives: first, an overview of the trends in data breach litigation, and second, a more granular perspective of practical data protection processes that may serve as a guidepost to help reduce the risk of likelihood of data breach. Taken together the reader will understand why a measured approach to data protection can reduce the risk of financial liability from a data breach lawsuit.

Statement of Michelle Richardson, Director, Privacy & Data
Center for Democracy & Technology
before the
United States Senate Committee on the Judiciary
GDPR & CCPA: Opt-ins, Consumer Control, and the Impact on Competition and Innovation
March 12, 2019
On behalf of the Center for Democracy & Technology (CDT), thank you for the
opportunity to testify about the importance of crafting a federal consumer privacy law that
provides meaningful protections for Americans and clarity for entities of all sizes and sectors.
CDT is a nonpartisan, nonprofit 501(c)(3) charitable organization dedicated to advancing the
rights of the individual in the digital world. CDT is committed to protecting privacy as a
fundamental human and civil right and as a necessity for securing other rights such as access to
justice, equal protection, and freedom of expression. CDT has offices in Washington, D.C., and
Brussels, and has a diverse funding portfolio from foundation grants, corporate donations, and
individual donations.1
The United States should be leading the way in protecting digital civil rights. This hearing
is an opportunity to learn how Congress can improve upon the privacy frameworks offered in
the European Union via the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the California
Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) to craft a comprehensive privacy law that works for the U.S. Our
digital future should be one in which technology supports human rights and human dignity. This
future cannot be realized if people are forced to choose between protecting their personal
information and using the technologies and services that enhance our lives. This future depends
on clear and meaningful rules governing data processing; rules that do not simply provide

people with notices and check boxes but actually protect them from privacy and security
abuses and data-driven discrimination; protections that cannot be signed away.
Congress should resist the narratives that innovative technologies and strong privacy
protections are fundamentally at odds, and that a privacy law would necessarily cement the
market dominance of a few large companies. Clear and focused privacy rules can help
companies of all sizes gain certainty with respect to appropriate and inappropriate uses of data.
Clear rules will also empower engineers and product managers to design for privacy on the
front end, rather than having to wait for a public privacy scandal to force the rollback of a
product or data practice.
We understand that drafting comprehensive privacy legislation is a complex endeavor.
Over the past year we have worked with partners in civil societ.
"Data Breaches & the Upcoming Data Protection Legal Framework: What’s the Buz...Cédric Laurant

Presentation can be downloaded at http://cedriclaurant.com/about/presentations/, http://blog.cedriclaurant.org and http://security-breaches.com.
Join us and learn where your organization may have security gaps or be out of state or federal compliance. In this seminar, we will discover how a combination of good policies and the implementation of good, solid solutions can help you meet compliance requirements, and protect and secure your organization or business.
All levels of society rely upon information technology systems. Network operations are pervasive and impact nearly every aspect of our society. The desire of companies to collect, use, store, and secure information about customers, employees, and other individuals is a requirement of the new economy. It is no wonder that the prevalence of electronic communications and a growing dependency on cyber structures and operations also create potential vulnerabilities to cyberattacks. It is critical to preserve information systems and address and prevent weaknesses in cyber protection efforts. This webinar examines the means for companies to reach data goals ethically, efficiently and legally. The panel will also discuss the evolving regulatory approaches of the European Union, United States Federal government and significant developments in U.S. state regimes, including California. Best practices and model comprehensive privacy and cybersecurity policies are discussed. And, data breach response and related litigation, including class action litigation issues and fiduciary duty violations under corporate law, are discussed.

This document discusses 10 common myths regarding compliance with the EU's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which takes effect in May 2018. It aims to clarify misunderstandings about GDPR requirements.
The first myth addressed is that GDPR compliance is a one-time project like preparing for Y2K, but GDPR actually requires ongoing processes. The second myth is that no one will be fined, but regulators are likely to target large firms to set examples and fines could be up to 4% of revenue. The third myth is that all noncompliance will result in the maximum 4% fine, but fines will depend on factors like severity of the violation.

you embed data privacy in the organization’s culture. So,
for example, with employee data, you might develop a
workforce data privacy policy. If you can show that that
is binding and really enforceable within the organization,
then you can take these rules and procedures to EU data
protection authorities and get them approved, which then
allows you to transfer data freely within the organization,
without additional consent, or registering standard contract
clauses. You have to keep the data protection authorities
up to date if new members of the group come on board or
if you change your processing significantly, but it should
be a much-lighter-touch approach than the registration

BROWNLEE: Binding corporate rules (BCRs) are a bit
controversial, because they’re very expensive to develop
and implement, and they only protect the flow of data
among those corporate entities. For example, BCRs do not
address the flow of information from an EU member state
to a country that is deemed to have inadequate safeguards.
Jason Doiy
So it’s not a one-stop-shopping solution; you still have to
layer BCRs with other privacy mechanisms, such as Safe
Harbor certification.
