Data breach “horror” stories have become a new staple in today’s business environment.

Experienced data breach forecasters continue to predict that cyber-attacks will continue to increase in frequency. Although data security and breach response are constantly in the headlines, studies demonstrate that organizations remain unprepared to effectively respond to a data breach.
