The ability to protect one’s data has changed dramatically. We no longer just look to our file cabinet or file boxes to find our private and confidential data. Personally identifiable data is digitally available everywhere, from online banking, medical portals, the IRS, to your personal devices including cell phones, computer hard drives and even cloud storage. No wonder those with nefarious intentions have it so easy. Just this past year, there were 720 healthcare data breaches affecting 186 million individuals. We use the week of Jan. 27 – 31 to focus on data privacy and promote efforts to counteract the negative impacts of data being stolen.
