The Coalition for Data Security is a resource for consumers, businesses, policymakers, and the media for matters related to data security breaches.
Technology changes quickly, and criminals are working hard to stay ahead of public and private sector organizations that maintain personal and financial information. Particularly for those in commercial organizations, where consumer data is the very lifeblood of a competitive business model, protecting consumer information from criminal activity is paramount.
Despite this, breaches continue to occur – particularly in government and higher education, where data security tends to lag behind the private sector. It is incumbent upon all of us – public and private sector alike – to ensure that this information is protected up front. Additionally, we are committed to helping consumers understand the varying levels of breaches and how to react, if necessary.
This website acts as a central portal for studies, consumer tips, news articles, and other resources that draw an accurate picture of data security issues, without the hype, so consumers can evaluate information about data breaches and act prudently.
