High Alert as Data Breach Fears Reach a Breaking Point


Data breaches are rising, with 44% of consumers reporting that they have experienced fraud, identity theft or financial loss due to breaches. Almost a fifth of consumers unfortunately take no extra data security precautions unless they have personally experienced direct financial harm. So it is up to businesses that hold customer data to take care of it. One measure, is offering two-factor or multifactor authentication on banking or ecommerce websites. After a breach, nearly three quarters of consumers lose trust in that business. Seventy percent say that they would consider taking their business or money elsewhere after a breach and 73% believe that the companies holding their data should be doing more to protect it.

Through the Looking Glass: Technology Solutions in Search of a Problem
When I read about new technologies, I often think of the movie “Field of Dreams.” The protagonist builds a baseball field in the middle of a corn field because he hears a voice. “If you build it, they will come.” In the movie’s case, “they” are ghostly baseball players. For technology companies, “they” are businesses […]

In addition, a recently released report from MIT Sloan delivers some very depressing numbers about the efficacy of CDO groupsi:  The average tenure of […]

How Data Modeling Made Me a Better Engineer
My name is Bill Burkett, and I am a data modeler.  I don’t call myself that often and sometimes have misgivings about doing so. I often get the feeling that being a “data modeler,” when considered in isolation of other engineering skills, is a less-than-flattering job title. To practical engineers, data modeling conjures images of […]
