Description

Digital connections permeate our livesand so do data breaches Given that we must be online for basic communication finance healthcare and more it is remarkable how difficult it is to secure our personal information Despite the passage of many data security laws data breaches are increasing at a record pace In Breached Daniel Solove and Woodrow Hartzog two of the worlds leading experts on privacy and data security issues argue that the law fails because ironically it focuses too much on the breach itselfDrawing insights from many fascinating stories about data breaches Solove and Hartzog show how major breaches could have been prevented or mitigated through better rules and often inexpensive noncumbersome means They also reveal why the current law is counterproductive It pummels organizations that have suffered a breach but doesnt recognize how others contribute to the breach These outside actors include software companies that create vulnerable software device companies that make insecure devices government policymakers who write regulations that increase security risks organizations that train people to engage in risky behaviors and moreAlthough humans are the weakest link for data security the law remains oblivious to the fact that policies and technologies are often designed with a poor understanding of human behavior Breached corrects this course by focusing on the human side of security This book sets out a holistic vision for data security lawone that holds all actors accountable understands security broadly and in relationship to privacy looks to prevention and mitigation rather than reaction and is designed with people in mind The book closes with a roadmap for how we can reboot law and policy surrounding data security
