This course examines data privacy and cybersecurity incidents from a response perspective. The presentation will spotlight three primary components of the incident response lifecycle:

1. Investigation and verification of a breach

2. Breach notification

3. Post-breach remediation

With a focus on state data breach notification statutes, the course explores core questions involving events impacting protected information, such as:

1. What is considered “personal information”?

2. How can personal information become “breached”?

3. What is the risk of harm to personal information following an incident?

When an incident is determined to be a “breach,” organizations often need to take prompt action to ensure compliance with state and federal law. This lecture considers what happens when a “breach” is declared, including notification to impacted individuals. Finally, the course explores common avenues organizations may consider to prevent a breach from happening again in the future, including the development and implementation of cybersecurity training and awareness programs.

Course Objectives:

• Identify common types of cybersecurity and data privacy incidents

• Explore the concept of personal information

• Understand a “breach” as a legal term of art
