ARTICLE HIGHLIGHTS LACK OF MEDIA COVERAGE FOR DATA BREACHES

December 6, 2009- An article on the website The Daily Censored highlights the lack of national media attention paid to the near constant stream of data breaches. Highlighting many incidents profiled in recent issues of NAIDDirect, this article also references a recent report done by the Ponemon Institute, a privacy and data security consultancy firm, which shows nearly 70% of senior managers surveyed do not believe privacy and data security are a high concern. While disconcerting, both the article and the Ponemon Insitute’s report demonstrate the need for the legislation discussed in this issue of NAIDDirect.
