What have the feds done for us lately to protect our data security?
1. Weeks ago the FDA stopped the use of a pump for infusion therapy because it could be hacked
2. July’s recall of 1.4 million Chryslers, Dodges & Jeeps because of hacking the auto software
3. The SEC following through on enforcement for insider trading due to a computer hack
Let’s not forget it has also been the year of:
- student data breaches
- insurance companies data breaches
- a fear of data security breaches at utilities, including power grids
- increase in the number of data security insurance policies
Total of 7 reasons, data security will move toward the top of legislative agendas.
