Making the Most of Business Intelligence,
with Verizon's Wade Baker |

"I
do a lot of work with digital forensics.
We have a team that any time there’s
a corporate data breach, we go in
and investigate.
"So
I'm very interested in gathering
the data that we do have, analyzing
it in more mature ways, and coming
to better conclusions so that our
systems are more well-protected

"Informatics is particularly
important now given both the
focus on clinical quality
and cost combined with the
impact of the recent legislation
in the United States.
"The
common themes of affordability,
accountability and value that
President Obama, Secretary
Sebelius, Don Berwick and
others have espoused make
data and therefore informatics
an absolute imperative."

Excerpt :
2010 Data Breach Investigations Report
- By the Verizon RISK Team and the
US Secret Service |
|

|
|
The analysis of breaches in aggregate
can be of great benefit; the more we study,
the more prepared we are to stop them.
Not
surprisingly, the United States Secret
Service is also interested in studying
and stopping data breaches. They've increased
the scope of what we’re able to
study dramatically.
We’ve
learned a great deal from this journey
and we’re glad to have the opportunity
to share these findings with you.
