Privacy Gaps Review

• Privacy Gap Assessment and Review
As a result several high profile breaches, states have enacted their own laws providing additional protection, including Massachusetts’ 201 CMR 17. Similarly, numerous international laws have been adopted, including the European Directive and Canada’s Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA). Further, more than 50 countries have enacted omnibus data privacy laws covering the private sector, including Mexico’s Federal Law on the Protection of Personal Data Held by Private Parties.

CYBER DEFENSE DIVERSIFICATION

Today, most enterprises try to deal with cybersecurity threats by focusing inwardly through conducting vulnerability assessments, making detailed network maps, and in some cases, deploying robust patch management processes to continuously monitor their networks and systems.

Today's cyber wrongdoers are sophisticated, well-funded, and patient—they use a wide range of techniques to penetrate even well-protected enterprises...
