In today's cast I had a chance to catch up with Gordon Rapkin, CEO of Protegrity to discuss the recent AIG data breach and loss.

Gordon believes this type of data loss won't stop happening until a cultural shift occurs, and I tend to agree with him. Listen to this fifteen minute podcast to find out how I'm losing brain cells every time this kind of an event happens and how he's saving his.

In case you haven't heard:

Insurance giant American International Group said it has lost personal identifying information on about 970,000 consumers through a burglary at an undisclosed office in the Midwest.

The insurer said the break-in occurred March 31 and that it alerted police to the loss of a laptop computer and a file server with insurance applicants' personal records. But the company acknowledged that it has not yet alerted consumers about their possible vulnerability to identity thieves. AIG said it plans to mail out advisories to the affected consumers by the end of this week.
