Some astounding numbers lay the groundwork for this post from Chris Pogue at Nuix. Per a study by the Ponemon Institute late last year, 43 percent of companies had experienced a data breach within the previous 12 months.

Breaches, says Pogue, a 14-year veteran with both military and private sector experience in digital forensics, “are certain as death and taxes.” With this as a given, he outlines the elements of a comprehensive response plans and explains why “fire drills” should be part of every company’s breach preparation plan.
