11.  Data security breaches that could lead to identity theft are
occurring at a higher pace as computer network systems become
more and more vulnerable from attacks by hackers and viruses.
 Organizations should employ better encryption and robust
authentication methods and employees must be educated and
trained on how to handle sensitive and confidential information.
Cyber insurance could play an important role not only in managing
the risk of a data breach but also in enhancing the security
position of the company.
 Finally, an efficient response to a breach and containment of the
damage could significantly diminish the cost of breach. Thus,
companies should consider having an incident response and crisis
management plan in place as a preventive measure to data
breach and damage control when one occurs. Note that the
organizational responses to the threat of data breaches examined
in this paperare equally applicable to any organization that needs
to protect people‘s PID.
