With over 127 million records exposed in 2007 in the US alone, attacks are becoming increasingly more sophisticated. Learn more about best practices to protect the cardholder data environment and achieve PCI compliance.
According to Analysts, the Higher Education sector is the most breached of any industry. This white paper outlines key reasons why universities are more affected by security issues and how they can better prepare themselves to address IT security and vulnerability management challenges.
Protecting Patient Health Information in the HITECH EraRapid7
The document discusses how the HITECH Act strengthened enforcement of HIPAA regulations regarding the privacy and security of patient health information. It established much higher penalties for non-compliance in an effort to incentivize healthcare providers to improve practices for protecting electronic personal health records. The HITECH Act also expanded the scope of HIPAA to cover business associates of healthcare organizations and allow state attorneys general to pursue legal action on behalf of individuals affected by privacy or security violations. Overall, the legislation aims to increase adoption of health information technology while maintaining patient trust through more rigorous auditing and enforcement of standards for securing electronic patient data.
The document discusses how technological developments since the Privacy Act of 1974 have made some provisions of federal privacy laws inadequate. Advances like web 2.0 technologies, social media, and data mining have changed how information is organized and shared, rendering aspects of the Privacy Act and E-Government Act insufficient to fully protect personal information. The document also notes actions agencies can take to strengthen privacy protections and security, such as updating privacy policies and conducting privacy impact assessments for new technologies.

Technology’s role in data protection – the missing link in GDPR transformationat MicroFocus Italy ❖✔
This document discusses the role of technology in data protection and GDPR compliance. It argues that technology has historically been both the cause of data protection issues as well as the solution, but technologies have not always been designed with data protection in mind. The GDPR will require organizations to critically examine their technologies and ensure they have the capabilities needed to comply with principles like data minimization, individual rights to access and erasure, and security. Organizations need to understand how personal data flows through their systems and assess technology risks in order to design systems that protect privacy by default. Failure to address technology issues could lead to regulatory fines and litigation under the GDPR.
This document summarizes a paper about increasing data breaches and the need for legislation to address the problem. It notes that over 233 million US records have been exposed due to breaches since 2005. The document discusses the costs of breaches to companies and common causes, such as lost or stolen devices. It argues that while some states have breach notification laws, federal legislation is needed to standardize security practices and privacy protections across industries. The paper aims to examine if legislation is needed to reduce breaches, when people should be notified of breaches, and if compensation should be required.

Protection and defense against sensitive data leakage problem within organiza...Alexander Decker
This document summarizes a paper that proposes a Data Leakage Prevention (DLP) solution to help organizations prevent intentional or accidental leakage of sensitive data. The proposed solution involves identifying, monitoring, and protecting three types of organizational data: data at rest (stored data), data in use (data currently being processed), and data in motion (data being transmitted). It describes sensitive data that organizations need to protect, such as personal information, financial records, and research data. The solution aims to classify data protection levels and help organizations enforce policies regarding appropriate data access and transmission to reduce risks from data leakage.
Mr. Keelan T. Stewart gave a presentation on cybersecurity law and risk management. He has extensive education and experience in information security. In his presentation, he discussed identifying applicable laws and regulations, creating an information security register, reviewing key cybersecurity laws including HIPAA and Dodd-Frank, as well as important state breach notification laws and industry regulations.

It covers several topics, including privacy and intellectual property rights, accountability and control issues, system quality concerns, and the effects of technology on quality of life. The goals are to analyze ethical and social problems raised by information systems, identify the moral dimensions of the information society, and examine principles for conducting ethical analysis and designing corporate policies.
The document discusses data privacy, ownership, and the Internet of Things (IoT). It notes that while companies own data collected and correlations made, users have rights to control their personal data. Laws like GDPR protect personally identifiable information (PII), and breaches can result in costly class actions, clean-up costs, and fines if PII is collected without consent. The document recommends mitigating risks by following privacy- and security-by-design practices and obtaining user consent in privacy policies.
Ø Data protection principles set out the main responsibilities for organizations handling personal data, including processing data fairly and lawfully, only collecting data needed for the purpose, keeping data accurate, not storing it longer than needed, securing the data, and being accountable.
Ø Organizations must have a lawful basis to process personal data and do so in a transparent way by providing privacy notices. They can only use data for the specified purpose, not indefinitely or for new unspecified purposes. They must also minimize the data collected, keep it accurate, securely delete unneeded data, and keep records demonstrating compliance.

Presentation about the National Security Framework of Spain for Guide Share Europe, in Madrid in October 2011.
The National Security Framework (NSF) of Spain is in the service of the right of citizens to interact electronically with their government. The NSF establishes the security policy in the scope of eGovernment (Law 11/2007) and consists of basic principles and minimum requirements to allow an adequate protection of information. It is a legal text (Royal Decree 3/2010).
The NSF introduces common elements and concepts that provide guidance to public administrations and that facilitate the communication of information security requirements to Industry. Recommendations of the OECD, EU, standards and experiences from other countries were considered.
This National Security Framework, as well as the National Interoperability Framework, is the result of a collective effort of all public administrations and also of the Industry through their associations. Both of them are part of the well known effort of Spain to develop the Information Society and eGovernment.
eHealth Ontario was formed in 2008 to transition healthcare services to electronic formats. Surveys show that Canadians are reasonably confident in the security of their healthcare information when handled by medical professionals, but less so by other groups like administrators or researchers.
To develop a culture of privacy, organizations must clearly define privacy as a priority, educate all staff, and make privacy guidance accessible. Management must communicate that privacy is everyone's responsibility. Training and awareness campaigns aim to change behaviors over the long-term. eHealth Ontario implemented privacy training and branding campaigns like "Get Caught! Doing the Right Thing" to promote their efforts.
This document discusses the results of Ernst & Young's 2010 Global Information Security Survey. Some key findings include:
- 60% of respondents perceived an increase in risk due to new technologies like social media, cloud computing, and mobile devices.
- 46% planned to increase spending on information security.
- Increased workforce mobility and data leakage were significant challenges for many organizations.
- Many organizations are taking steps to address mobile security risks through policies, encryption, and identity management controls.

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 is because companies handling data of individuals residing within the EU have to align with the regulation on how that data is managed and/or shared. Some of the far reaching provisions that companies mus.

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 is because companies handling data of individuals residing within the EU have to align with the regulation on how that data is managed and/or shared. Some of the far reaching provisions that companies mus.
Data Privacy and Protection in the Digital Age - pdf.pdfKarpagam Institute
Data privacy and protection have become increasingly crucial in the digital age. With the vast amount of personal information being collected, stored, and shared online, individuals and organizations alike face significant risks related to privacy breaches and data misuse. It is imperative for both users and service providers to prioritize safeguarding sensitive information through robust security measures, encryption techniques, and adherence to privacy regulations such as GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) and CCPA (California Consumer Privacy Act). Additionally, raising awareness about digital privacy rights and promoting responsible data handling practices are essential steps towards ensuring the privacy and protection of individuals' data in today's interconnected digital landscape.
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

The Role of Information Security Policy Jessica Graf Assignment 1 Unit 8 IAS5020Jessica Graf
The document discusses the importance of developing an information security policy that balances security needs with business goals. It explains that a policy should be based on assessing risks and regulations while protecting assets like data, networks, and reputation. A good policy also considers factors like budget, priorities, and how security could impact customers. The goal is to implement controls that cost-effectively mitigate risks through confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information.
RIGHT PRACTICES IN DATA MANAGEMENT AND GOVERNANCEVARUN KESAVAN
This is the era of data revolution. Data is being traded as a commodity and has even been dubbed "the new oil". Almost 2.5 quintillion bytes of data are created daily, and that number is only going up. With this rapid proliferation of data, instances of data misuse are rising. Instant information sharing has both saved and endangered lives. These polar opposite outcomes have sparked debate on data management and governance, with many seeing regulation as a threat to business.
For example, Facebook's recent data breach, if found to violate the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), could cost them 4% of their global revenue (or $1.63 billion) in fines. This resonated as a warning shot to enterprises across the globe. As concerns grow, it will serve enterprises well to remember how valuable consumer trust is to them. That is precisely why the threat of punitive action could, in fact, be enterprises' biggest ally in this data revolution.

ABSTRACT
Financial companies are under constant threats in the face of cyber-attacks, which are growing by the day. The companies usually implement measures that primarily focus on the deployment of technologies for suppressing the attacks. They do not consider user policies as essential elements that help curb the vulnerabilities. The policies put in place have a low level of enforceability, which lowers the impact of the plans. The research project will determine the relationship between policy enforceability and the vulnerabilities posed to a system by the internal and external users.
INTRODUCTION
Business companies in the financial sector have the responsibility of ensuring the data that belong to the customers are fully protected. Cyber-crimes are on the rise, and the approaches employed today are not entirely practical. Technological tools and measures are not efficient. They should be complemented by the behavioral standards that suppress the vulnerabilities in all the IT domains (Vincent, Higgs & Pinsker, 2015). Enforceable policies will ensure there is an integration of behavioral and technological measures for promoting data security and privacy.
LITERATURE REVIEW
Financial companies usually emphasize policies that guide the collection of customer and storage as well as access to the data by the internal and external users. These policies are relevant as they promote best practices at both levels. The companies have a belief that these are the areas that need closer monitoring and evaluation. However, the policies put in place are not always enforceable. A lack of enforceability creates a situation where the desired outcomes are not realized (Yeganeh, 2019). It explains why data breaches are still experienced even after such policies are formulated and implemented.
RESEARCH METHOD
To investigate the relationship between enforceability of the policies and the vulnerabilities that business organizations are exposed to, a case study method will be used. It is an essential tool that helps determine a causal relationship (White & McBurney, 2012). Also, it will provide insights that will inform the recommendations that need to be considered by the multiple business organizations in the financial sector. Credible data that are free of confounding variables must be collected, analyzed, and inferences drawn. Two data collection procedures will be utilized as follows.
i. Semi-structured interviews will be conducted to collect diverse data on the design and implementation of user and online policies. The interviewees will offer data that expound on the security and privacy positions of the systems.
ii. Independent observations will be made to inform the behaviors of the users, both internally and externally. The observation ...

The Summary Guide to Compliance with the Kenya Data Protection Law Owako Rodah
The Data Protection Act 2019, was enacted on November 8th, 2019, ushering a new era of accountability and responsibility with regard to processing of personal data and information. Naturally, there has been a resurrection of the chatter around data protection in increasingly data-driven social and economic settings. The question on everyone’s mind being what does this mean for me?
The document summarizes key aspects of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) taking effect in May 2018 and recommendations for organizations to comply. It outlines the GDPR's 5 main duties: rights of EU data subjects, security of personal data, lawfulness and consent, accountability of compliance, and data protection by design and default. The document recommends organizations assess risks, identify necessary policies, processes, and technologies, and leverage IBM's solutions framework and experience helping clients in various industries prepare for the GDPR.
The Evolution of Data Privacy: 3 Things You Need To ConsiderSymantec
The European Union’s proposed General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) has left even the most informed confused. This new regulation has been designed
to update the current directive which was drafted in a time that was in technology terms, prehistoric. It’s time to evolve.
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 document discusses a survey of 225 global executives about their Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) compliance functions. While most organizations treat SOX compliance as a necessary burden, some have evolved to view it as an opportunity for innovation, automation, and competitive advantage. These forward-thinking companies see correlations between SOX practices and adding value to the business. The document outlines four actions for empowering SOX functions: 1) automating controls, 2) offshoring lower-cost resources, 3) leveraging IT investments, and 4) innovating strategies.
This document discusses opportunities to transform a company's Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) compliance function for competitive advantage. It identifies four actions: 1) automating manual controls to significantly reduce SOX costs and resource burden, 2) offshoring SOX functions for lower costs, 3) leveraging existing IT investments to improve SOX processes, and 4) innovating SOX execution strategically to enhance competitive positioning. A survey found that while most firms treat SOX as a compliance exercise, some have transformed their functions to drive value through automation, cost efficiencies, and strategic innovation around SOX practices.
This document discusses current trends in business continuity management. It notes that effective BCM is rising in importance for corporations due to increased complexity, tighter margins for error, and higher expectations for resilience and recovery times after disruptions. Leading trends that companies are adopting to improve their ability to manage emergencies and minimize impacts include implementing an enterprise-wide BCM framework and governance model, integrating business impact analysis and risk assessments, leveraging technologies like cloud computing and virtualization, and fully understanding application interdependencies for recovery.
The document discusses the evolving IT risk landscape for businesses as new technologies like mobile computing, cloud services, and social media break down barriers between work and personal life. This has increased risks around data leakage, third party dependencies, and regulatory compliance. Effective IT risk management is important for businesses to address these challenges and support overall enterprise risk management and business objectives. The document outlines an "IT Risk Universe" framework that identifies 11 key risk categories including security, resilience, data, and strategy alignment that companies can use to assess their IT risk exposure. How much a company relies on defensive IT versus offensive IT impacts the priorities for managing these IT risks.
Building control efficiency: Rationalization, optimization and redesign Vladimir Matviychuk
Increased government reporting requirements have forced those responsible for internal controls to do more. The global recession has required them to do more with less. While regulators press for accountability, investors press for performance. Now, those responsible for internal controls must now take charge by assessing their processes and tools, and execute on efforts to make them as efficient – and effective – as possible. Those able to optimize their controls will be more able to move past compliance toward improved performance and competitive advantage.
This document discusses advanced persistent threats (APTs) and provides recommendations for countering them. It notes that APTs target specific organizations over long periods to steal large amounts of sensitive information undetected. Traditional security methods are ineffective against APTs, which require new detection and response approaches using multiple layers of defense. The document recommends assuming infrastructure infiltration and granting response teams autonomy to investigate incidents. It also stresses hardening web browsers, mobile devices, and cloud applications against emerging attack vectors.

1. Insights on IT risk
January 2011
Privacy trends 2011
Challenges to privacy programs in
a borderless world
2. Summary of trends
• Regulation, laws and enforcement. Historically, enforcement of privacy
legislation has been inconsistent or nonexistent. Today’s regulators plan on
changing that by expanding their reach and imposing tougher penalties.
• Additional breach notification requirements. Governments around the world
are drafting and adopting breach notification legislation. Organizations need to
adapt based on their industry and jurisdictions of operations.
• Governance, risk and compliance (GRC) initiatives. Organizations are
expanding GRC initiatives to converge with governance and enhance business
performance with risk management. There is only a small number of GRC
technologies available, but that number is growing. In 2011, expect technology
firms to produce and update modules that attempt to address privacy monitoring.
• Cloud computing. Organizations transitioning their business processes to a
cloud environment need to have robust vendor risk management and third-party
reporting capabilities in place that address privacy risks.
• Mobile devices. Portable media means portable personal information. Employees
and organizations alike need to understand and respect the power, limitations
and technical controls of mobile devices.
• Increased investment. Organizations are increasing their investment in
governance and tools that help manage privacy and data protection, in part
because of regulation, but also because of increasing risks.
• More privacy assessments. Look for internal audit departments to identify specific
parts of their organizations on which to conduct deeper privacy audits and for
other assessments to expand.
• Service provider reporting standards. Changes to the Statement on Auditing
Standards (SAS) 70 in 2011 will give service providers the ability to obtain a
report on privacy and data protection controls and compliance.
• Privacy by Design. Evolving from a concept to an essential component of
privacy protection, Privacy by Design suggests that regulators are recognizing
the importance of embedding privacy into new technologies and business
practices from the beginning.
• Social networking. Organizations need to develop and communicate thoughtful
privacy protection policies that address interactions among customers,
employees and job candidates on social networks.
• Evolving privacy professional expectations. Privacy certifications are
becoming more specialized, allowing individuals to be certified in focused
areas such as jurisdictional regulation, IT or industry.
iii Insights on IT risk | January 2011
3. Introduction
For years, the fixed boundaries of an office’s four walls have, for the most part, enabled companies to
manage the privacy of the data they keep. But in an era of anytime, anywhere access to information,
these traditional boundaries are disappearing. It is a new world — technology-driven, ever-connected,
globally extended and well beyond the scope of conventional privacy protection approaches.
In Borderless security: Ernst & Young’s 2010 Global Information Security Survey, 81% of executives
interviewed indicate that managing privacy and protecting personal data is very important or important
to their organization. And no wonder: highly publicized incidents of data leaks or identity theft pose
huge brand and reputation risks for businesses — a concern survey participants ranked even higher than
privacy protection (84%).
As a result, executives are investing more money to protect the privacy of personal information — to
respond to ever-increasing government regulation and enforcement and to stem the rising tide of
risk. But are they spending it in the right places? With parts of the global economy still limping toward
recovery, executives continue to ask this burning question as they search for the right balance between
spending on privacy protection and taking appropriate levels of risk to manage costs.
One thing is certain: technological advances will only continue to accelerate, and organizations need
to be ready. While governments are stepping up regulation and enforcement, privacy protection lacks
international cohesion. It is a compliance patchwork with levels of consistency that vary from country
to country and industry to industry.
Organizations do not have time to wait for global regulatory bodies to reach consensus. They need to
take action now to proactively develop and implement enterprise-wide privacy protection strategies that
match the organization’s risk profile. By looking upon privacy strategies to drive regulation rather than
the other way around, companies can meet today’s needs and also anticipate tomorrow’s challenges.

15. Conclusion
In an increasingly borderless operational environment, protecting personal information is
paramount. Mobile communication, social networking and cloud computing have erased the
boundaries of the traditional corporate environment. They have also created a number of
new privacy risks for organizations and employees alike.
Regulators have taken notice. The year 2011 promises to usher in a host of new regulations
and enforcement capabilities to see that organizations comply. But, as the new breach
notification regulations coming into effect in various jurisdictions around the world
highlight, privacy protection is no longer a compliance exercise. Organizations that ignore
the importance of protecting personal information from outside — or inside — will suffer
more than financial penalties. They may also see their reputation damaged and their brand
negatively impacted.
Regulation and risk are the two primary reasons we will see organizations increasing their
investment in privacy. They will be spending money to hire highly skilled certified privacy
professionals and will invest in technical controls that monitor and manage external attacks
and leaks from within.
As we enter 2011, a fundamental shift in how organizations approach privacy may be in
order. Protecting personal information can no longer be an afterthought that is bolted
onto an existing privacy or security program. As Privacy by Design suggests, it needs to
be a series of much-needed policies that embed privacy protection into new technologies
and business practices at the outset. The focus on privacy will enhance the business
performance of leading organizations.
