Privacy and Security Incident Response Mistakes Organizations Make

Data Security and Privacy with the Privacy Professor

Privacy breaches and security incidents are occurring more often and are increasingly involving larger amounts of personal data. Why are security incidents continuing to increase? For a variety of reasons. While basic information security and privacy concepts are still the same as they have been for the past 30+ years, too many organizations do not implement information security and privacy programs that cover all those concepts to begin with! There are also more types of devices, such as smart cars, smart home devices, smart mobile devices, smart toys, and more that are collecting and sharing increasingly more personal data. And it is only going to continue increasing. So, with all these available security and privacy management standards and guidance documents, why aren’t organizations better prepared to not only prevent security incidents and privacy breaches, but also to respond effectively to them? In this episode we discuss and gain insights from a long-time expert in this area.
