DPA course addresses PLAY.COM-Type issues
IT Governance Ltd, the UK leader in providing books, tools, training and consultancy for DPA (Data Protection Act) compliance, has modified its very next DPA training course (http://www.itgovernance.co.uk/products/2957) to include a discussion of issues around security breaches like the one recently experienced by play.com and as described on 22 March 2011 by the BBC (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-12819330).
Increasingly, cyber attacks are targeting organisations that might have substantial subscriber lists. Cyber criminals know that genuine subscriber details are much more useful for creating 3rd generation phishing attacks designed to lure consumers to malware-infected sites.
A security breach such as that experienced by play.com may, in some organisations, also reflect an underlying failure to comply with the DPA. "Organisations that are already suffering from the commercial repercussions of a cyber attack want to be sure that they have taken all appropriate steps to comply with the DPA," observed IT Governance CEO, Alan Calder. "We have expanded consideration of supplier-related issues in our upcoming DPA compliance course specifically to help organisations focus on this key issue."
Places at the 31 March 2011 Data Protection Act Compliance Course can be booked online at www.itgovernance.co.uk/products/2957. The price is just £395. They can also be booked directly from the friendly, helpful IT Governance service centre team on telephone number +44 (0)845 070 1750. Larger organisations can make bookings with a Purchase Order either by telephone or by email to servicecentre@itgovernance.co.uk.
