BulletProofBlog the blog on crisis communications

As part of a continuing series of Bulletproof Blog™ video interviews with thought leaders across multiple disciplines and industry sectors, I recently sat down with Shane Sims, a Director in PricewaterhouseCoopers’ U.S. Forensic Services practice, to discuss data security in the Digital Age.

Mr. Sims outlined the specific risks presented to companies and countries by the five primary threat groups when it comes to data loss and theft: foreign intelligence services; terrorist organizations; transnational criminal enterprises; global competitors; and insiders. With so many potential threats, companies must establish a data breach response plan that enables fast action and effective outreach to all concerned stakeholders.

As a former Supervisory Special Agent with the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) who has more than 24 years experience in forensic investigations, cybercrime, national security, and crisis management, Mr. Sims shared these insights and many more with Bulletproof™.
