GDPR's Key Data Processing Principles and Individual Rights
My recent blogs regarding data breaches, cybersecurity spend and the need for a comprehensive data breach notification law have consistently pointed to the European Union's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) as the "gold standard" for privacy and data protection.

The Need for a Comprehensive Breach Notification Law (and Then Some)
While recently drilling down into trend lines regarding data breaches and cybersecurity spend, it has became readily apparent that we are flying blind regarding the true enormity of the hacking problem we are facing.

Is Security Spending Keeping Pace?
In my last two blog posts, I looked at the trend lines vis a vis data breaches from a number of annual reported breaches and compromised records, including factoring out the impact of major whale breaches. The caveat of course is this is based on what’s publicly reported.

How Badly are Data Breach "Whales" Impacting the Breach Trend Lines?
Shortly after posting “Data Breaches: So How Bad is it Getting?“, it dawned on me that it might be interesting to factor out the big “whale” breaches (e.g. Yahoo! in 2016 with 3+ billion compromised records) to get a feel for what “run rate” breach rate really is in terms of compromised records. So consider this blog post an addendum to that blog post.
