Will Privacy Come Of Age in 2015?

摘要

Some 43% of companies report knowing that they experienced a data breach last year. Since breaches are hard to detect, it's safe to say that the other 57% can't be sure whether they were breached or not. One thing that's certain, as evidenced by the figures in the lead article of this issue, is that big data breaches were the story of 2014 - and it seems likely that they will keep coming. The uptick in breaches has put privacy on top of the agen da from the board's audit committee down to the front-line manager. It also has put a lot of pressure on in-house lawyers who handle privacy, but will it be enough to get corporate privacy programs to grow up?
