Topic: 2011 Data Breach Review

“Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it” - George Santayana

Organizations have a responsibility to protect the data of their customers, employees or other stakeholders. Many organizations are also required to comply with industry requirements or government regulations to protect their confidential data, yet ever year hundreds of organizations experience a data breach.

In this presentation we will review some 2011 data breach statistics, and resulting cost estimates, to understand common breach patterns and financial impacts among the affected organizations. We will also review the causes of those breaches, and examine possible actions that could have prevented or mitigated the attack.
