The types of threats facing organizations are constantly evolving, challenging the ability of organizations to be adequately prepared to respond to a data breach. The Sixth Annual Study: Is Your Company Ready for a Big Data Breach sponsored by Experian® Data Breach Resolution and conducted by Ponemon Institute examines the progress companies are making in preparing for the increasing likelihood they will have personal and sensitive information lost or stolen in the coming year. In this study, we surveyed 643 professionals in IT and IT security, compliance and privacy, who are involved in data breach response plans in their organizations.
