The first data breach notification law was passed by California in 2002 and became effective in 2003 — it took 15 years - all the way until 2018 for all 50 states to put their own data breach notification laws in place (South Dakota and Alabama were the last two). Each law has its own nuances and this begs the question (similar to the one we have or a national data privacy law) — why don’t we have national data breach notification legislation?

Well, that’s exactly the core of today’s conversation.

To start, we find out what a data breach notification law is. Then we discuss why we need it, how it can better protect consumers and citizens, and why we do need a national law?

Seems like we should have an easy and good answer to many cybersecurity and privacy problems -- but, come on, is there really something easy when it comes to technology, data security, and society?

Right.
