Are we really keeping up with the latest threats. Bradley Barth’s state it elearly:  The FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) received nearly 352,000 complaints related to cybercrime activity that collectively was responsible for $2.7 billion in losses, according to the agency’s 2018 Internet Crime Report (2018 Internet Crime Report). I enjoy how we check the boxes regarding cyber security awareness.   When you read the report its clear that we are not doing a good job helping others understand the cybersecurity security landscape.  Month after month, we see what’s happening, but until it hits home, I guess we now immune to the threats.  I wonder for those who have had a breach what they thought about the threat landscape before they were attacked?  Enjoy the report.  It really says alot.  Combine it with other reports and its obvious that we are all missing the mark.  Whats the solution?

It’s amazing to see on a weekly basis, that organizations are still not taking steps in teh right direction to protect information that it has on its customers and employees.  Kacy Zurkus identified a troubling gap in her article “ Nearly Half of US Orgs Not Ready for CCDA ”   Despite how there was a push by organizations, about a year or so ago, to be compliant with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), there now appears to be a less push or concern.  Is it because of the ability to enforce compliance.  Well Politico has identified an alarming fact in their article “ How one country blocks the world on data privacy ”  The GDPR is the world’s toughest standard for data privacy. But nearly a year later, its chief enforcer has yet to take a single action against major tech firms like Facebook and Google.  I applaud the State of California for their efforts, however, will the state be able to use its power to enforce compliance?  On paper...
