Using Science to Combat Data Loss: On the East Coast
OCTOBER 23, 2009—Interhack continues to use science in the battle against data loss. In the spring of this year, C. Matthew Curtin, co-author of the study Using Science to Combat Data Loss: Analyzing Breaches by Type and Industry unveiled the original Interhack research at the RSA Conference in San Fransisco, California. This fall, co-author Lee T. Ayres presents findings on the East Coast at the Computer Security Institute (CSI) 2009 Annual Conference in Washington, D.C.
In the study, Ayres and Curtin propose a taxonomy for classifying data loss incidents with public information. Examining publicized data breaches by type and industry, they find significant results for Finance, Education, Public Administration, and Health Care.
Lee Ayres presents findings on Tuesday 27 October at 4:00PM EDT at the CSI 2009 Annual Conference held at the Gaylord National Conference Center in Washington, D.C.
