Types of Data at Risk and Detection of Breach

• In a trend consistent with pre-2009 levels, the food and beverage and retail industries shouldered the brunt of data breaches accounting for 75% of all investigations. • As with prior years, the majority of incident response caseload consisted of payment card data breaches. • The targeting of payment card data is expected, as payment card fraud is an established business, and this data can be easily sold or laundered through established black market networks to realize financial gain.
