Threat: Legislation and Hackers
Pending Legislation (good news mostly on notification) What data are covered by the security breach notification
requirements? What breach would trigger a requirement to notify consumers? Is access and correction to data by consumers required? Is there a right for class action suits? Are state laws preempted?
Security Breach Already happening
“Acxiom Corp., was struck last year by a hacker who downloaded sensitive information belonging to about 10 percent of Acxiom's corporate customers.”
Real Threat: Education Client and Internal
Answer in age of Uncertainty: The User
The Golden Rule: Do unto others data, as you’d have done unto you
The Opportunity
Much greater than the threat..
..Enter Social Media
Social Media: What is it
What is Social Media?
Social media describes the online technologies and practices that people use to share opinions, insights, experiences, and perspectives with each other.
A few prominent examples of social media applications are Wikipedia (reference), MySpace (social networking), YouTube (video sharing), Second Life (virtual reality), Digg (news sharing), Flickr (photo sharing) and Miniclip (game sharing). These sites typically use technologies such as blogs, message boards, podcasts, wikis, and vlogs to allow users to interact.
