Personal data protection today: We should demand more
2020-03-23 05:30

From Marriott to Facebook, the biggest data breaches in 2019 were the result of careless handling of customer data.

IBM's 2019 Cost of a Data Breach Report found that data breaches on average cost organizations $3.92 million per incident.

These acts require companies to comply with strict demands regarding the use of personal data in general and the prevention of data leaks and breaches specifically.

This is particularly notable as lawmakers and courts, as well as the public opinion, are more willing than ever to penalize companies for acting carelessly with personal data or jeopardizing user privacy in any way.

2020 should be the year we demand more from those we entrust with our personal data.
