So for the rest of
2016, these are the
three lessons to keep
in mind:
TAKEAWAY 1 — Providers
are the largest (and most vul-
nerable) target
TAKEAWAY 2 — Guarding
against theft, loss, or disposal
of records AND preventing
data from accidental access or
disclosure are as vital as IT se-
curity.
TAKEAWAY 3 — Issue is
Global but the Weakness is
Local and Texas is a rich target.
