Topic: Information Security Incident: Privacy Breach or Not A Privacy Breach?
Format: Speaker
Speaker: Rebecca Herold
There are many types of information security incidents that occur in organizations on a daily basis. However, information security incidents are not always a privacy breach. There are currently 48 US state and territory breach notice laws, and they have been joined by the HITECH Act breach response requirements. Not to mention the FISMA breach response requirements for federal agencies. So, what is a “breach” under these laws? The general question of “what is a privacy breach” is one that too few organizations have really answered, documented and prepared response plans to cover. Rebecca will provide different types of incidents and talk with session attendees about whether or not they would be a privacy breach under the HITECH Act in particular, and the other breach response laws in general. She will also discuss whether notice would be necessary. The types of incidents discussed will be some that are often not considered when creating incident and breach response plans, but need to be because they occur fairly often.
