Despite scathing media coverage and the threat of introducing a data breach disclosure law, the public are continuously exposed to high profile data breaches in both the public and private sectors.

The publicity really started with HMRC losing details on 25 million Britons. Almost two years later, we are still questioning how safe our data is.

Nigel Stanley, security practice leader at Bloor Research, Nick Lowe, regional director Northern Europe at CheckPoint, and David Shettle, volunteer, CTO and vice president at the Open Security Foundation will look at how these breaches happened and how organisations can protect themselves against data loss.

They will also discuss media coverage of data breaches and how a data breach disclosure law could change things.
