Cybersecurity On My Mind: Protecting Georgia Consumers From Data Breaches, Maggie L. Mcmichael

Georgia Law Review

In a world where vast amounts of personal information
are obtained and stored by countless organizations and
businesses in the public and private sector, data breaches,

due to negligence or nefarious hacking, are a far too
common occurrence. The results of a data breach can be
serious and widespread, from public humiliation to
identity theft and national security crises. In an effort to
protect consumers from the potentially devastating effects

Understanding that a great deal of our day-to-day activities are now carried out over the Internet, it makes sense that our families and heirs would want or need access to our accounts in the event of …

Georgia Law Review

Cyber risks are as pervasive as the technology that facilitates their execution. The threat of cyber attacks or plots to deploy cyber weapons against critical government entities, private businesses and domestic and international infrastructure resources creates a most significant risk management concern. Pernicious,perilous and ubiquitous, cyber risks have merged as the newest risk management frontier. While the consequences of cyber attacks against individual financial institutions may be alarming, the interconnectedness of the largest financial institutions in the global economy and their shared dependence on technology render these businesses and the systems that execute their transactions shockingly vulnerable. Because of the …
