The Anatomy of a Privacy Breach

Today I'm flying from the very frigid sub-zero temps of Iowa out to the University of California at Berkeley. I was invited to give a lecture, and considering the ongoing increase in privacy breaches, I chose to talk about "The Anatomy of a Privacy Breach."

I've given this talk to other groups over the past few years and it's been very well received. I keep it updated with the latest stats and consideration of the latest threats, and hopefully it is helping organizations to proactively not only create effective plans for responding to information security incidents and privacy breaches, but one of my goals is for it to also point out some of the very basic actions organizations need to take to PREVENT privacy breaches from occurring in the first place.

I'm happy to talk with groups and organizations whenever possible about this topic, so let me know if you'd like for me to give it at your organization.
