Cybersecurity coverage has taken an odd turn. In the not-so-distant past, when a data breach occurred, journalists would zero in on the kinds and amounts of data that were stolen, and the amount of reputation and bottom-line damage the breach would likely result in. Lately, though, focus has shifted to who perpetrated the breach rather than how it happened.
While an increasing number of companies have a basic data breach response plan in place, many plans do not cover important steps and executives lack confidence in their ability to manage a major breach, according to a new study.
When most executives discuss data breach threats, often issues like financial loss due to customer dissatisfaction and diminished brand reputation are top of mind.
Terrorism, workplace violence, and cyber security are among the 200+ security topics to be covered at the ASIS International 61st Annual Seminar and Exhibits in September.
