Most governmental regulations requires some sort of Notifications of Breach, but sometimes it is sufficient for the notification to just go the the government and not the affected population.
Context
- Data from the ITRC (Identity Theft Resource Center) show that what they call breach (data exfiltration) is way down since 2016 in terms of number of individual records downloaded.
- The ITRC categorizes data exposure as human error and not as a data breach. Phishing and credential use for crime, on the other hand, is way up.
- Cybersecurity Trends in early 2021 are pointing to a increased level of awareness of breaches.
The recent history of high-profile data breaches is strengthening privacy regulations and eroding consumer trust in companies. Cisco’s 2020 Consumer Privacy Survey revealed that one-third of consumers are “Privacy Actives” who have stopped doing business with organizations over Data Privacy concerns. This trend is likely to continue as 65% of the world’s population will have its personal data covered under modern privacy regulations in the next two years, up from 10% in 2020.
