Online Data Loss Database launched

DatalossDB_website.gif

Here is one website you do not want your company name to appear on, http://datalossdb.org/. What is it?

"DataLossDB, formerly the Attrition.org Data Loss Database Open Source, is an research project aimed at documenting known and reported data loss incidents world-wide. The effort is now a community one, with the move to OSF, and relies on the contributions of users like you to grow and prune the database."

Basically the public at large submit to this website any known security breaches in the form of hacked websites, lost documents, media, laptops etc. It is a vastly improved interface to the former website, http://attrition.org/. People can now search by date, by incident type, industry even by what is the largest known loss of records! A leader board on which you will all want to avoid being in the top ten. Any guesses at what technology might be able to help you ensure that even when your intranets are hacked, laptops lost and firewalls breached, your most sensitive content still remains safe? I don't think I even need to say it...
