In the podcast Kevin answers questions regarding compelling aspects of the study, sources of data breaches, the cost of data breaches, lawsuits and how they relate to data security breaches. Kevin also gives 6 things any business can do to reduce their exposure to data breaches. He discusses the Heartland, RBS WorldPay and Hannaford breaches.
