We are living in a world where breaches of consumer privacy are a regular phenomenon. Breaches, such as the Cambridge Analytica-Facebook snafu and the Google+ leak, have dominated headlines in 2018, exposing the personal information of millions of people and shaking our trust in big brands. Many consumers are making drastic changes to the way they interact with brands online, and they believe businesses need to take ultimate responsibility for protecting their data. Ping Identity surveyed more than 3,000 consumers across the U.S., UK, France and Germany to examine consumer attitudes in a post-breach era to help businesses maintain trust and stay ahead of their customers’ expectations.

Cybercriminals will use any and all devices available to them in order to lie, cheat and steal from you. Until they’re blocked. Then they switch to different devices, counting on your fraud prevention efforts to forget about their old devices. When that happens, they start using their old devices again. They would love for you to believe that device history isn’t important. That’s why your fraud prevention tools shouldn’t forget older devices either. It’s essential to know when a device, especially one that’s new to your business, has a history of fraud. Even if that fraud happened years ago.

This survey shows many American consumers are in favor of regulations designed to give them greater control over how businesses use their personal data. 78% of them were aware of the Facebook data-sharing scandal, in which political consultancy firm Cambridge Analytica gained access to private information on more than 87 million Facebook users. 94% reported being generally concerned about their data and 57% said that the scandal made them even more concerned about their data privacy and security than they were before. The survey results show that many American consumers are open to regulations designed to give them greater control over how businesses use their personal data. 69% of those surveyed would like to see privacy laws like the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) enacted in the US.

Janrain’s most recent survey contains good news for online retailers, showing U.S. consumers generally trust online retailers with their personal data.

The Law Firm Cybersecurity Scorecard is issued quarterly and is part of their commitment to thoroughly study, understand, and report on the imminent amount and magnitude of threats faced by law firms today as well as the steps they are taking to mitigate the threat. To that point, per a recent Law 3603 report, law firm Managing Partners list cybersecurity as their number three priority, behind financial profits and generating revenue. Even though cybersecurity seems to be an area of particular focus, this scorecard will illustrate that law firms continue to struggle with making operational investments and instituting practices that do not provide a quantifiable financial return. Thus, they jeopardize their reputations, client relationships, and in some cases, financial well-being.

This report examines the substantial economic costs that malicious cyber activity imposes on the U.S. economy. Cyber threats are ever-evolving and may come from sophisticated adversaries. Due to common vulnerabilities, instances of security breaches occur across firms and in patterns that are difficult to anticipate. Importantly, cyberattacks and cyber theft impose externalities that may lead to rational underinvestment in cybersecurity by the private sectorrelative to the socially optimal level of investment. Firms in critical infrastructure sectors may generate especially large negative spillover effects to the wider economy. Insufficient data may impair cybersecurity efforts. Successful protection against cyber threats requires cooperation across firms and between private and public sectors.
