What I find interesting is the recognition among the readers and pundits that this is an imperfect world with respect to security. With that in mind, I'm unclear as to why organizations don't transfer a portion of this risk to others through an insurance product? It seems rational and clearly represents some mitigating of a scenario that will happen, not if, when. Policies are readily available, negotiable and clearly a deal compared to other costs. No one like to "waste" money on insurance...until there is a claim. The supermarket had D&O with which to fend off the legal dogs. Why don't they have a "cyber" policy? Whose making these good decisions? -----Original Message----- From: dataloss-bounces () attrition org [mailto:dataloss-bounces () attrition org] On Behalf Of Chris Walsh Sent: Thursday, March 20, 2008 5:49 PM To: Tracy Blackmore Cc: dataloss () attrition org Subject: Re: [Dataloss] rant: Abandon Ship! Data Loss Ahoy! IANAL, but this question of "due diligence" and comparing oneself to one's competitors begs the question -- what harm (in the legal sense) has been done here to anyone whose CC or debit card # was revealed? Does your answer vary depending on whether there was fraud associated with that card #? _______________________________________________ Dataloss Mailing List (dataloss () attrition org) http://attrition.org/dataloss Tenable Network Security offers data leakage and compliance monitoring solutions for large and small networks.
