Data Breaches: Crisis and Opportunity [Paperback]

Data breaches are inevitable. It is said that there are two types of companies: those that have had a data breach and those that don't yet know they have had one. In preparing for that inevitability, Data Breaches: Crisis and Opportunity is an invaluable guide to the history of some of the most significant data breaches, to what you can do to ensure your firm does not become another statistic and, in the event it does happen, to minimize the damage of that breach. -- Ben Rothke, RSA Book of the Month Selection
