In this post, we’ll quickly cover the highlights of what you need to know about California’s Data Breach Notification Statute.

Over the past two decades we have seen security get more and more granular, going deeper into the stack generation after generation, from hardware, to network, server, container and now more and more to code. The next frontier of this evolution is data, especially sensitive data. Sensitive data is what organizations don’t want to see leaked or breached. This includes PHI, PII, PD, financial data.

Now is the time to rethink how you manage data security. We’ve discussed the potential for breaches, financial ramifications, and loss of business in the past. These get your attention, but we’re well beyond that. No company is immune to these risks anymore. It’s the “how” that trips people up. How do you account for every line of code?

Every software we use consists of instructions in the form of computer codes that dictate how computers behave or perform certain tasks. But not all software is designed to make our lives easier. Malware, a portmanteau of the words malicious and software, is specifically designed to help hackers gain access to, steal information from, or damage a computer. Oftentimes, all this happens without the knowledge of the computer user themselves. Until it’s too late, that is.

I’ve heard the title of this article uttered in exasperation by more than a few CISOs. That can’t be the case though, right? Developers are some of the most paranoid cautious, security-conscious people I know. Compared to your average person, developers are far more skeptical when it comes to their personal data. Even as a CEO, those instincts from my time as a full-time dev persist.
