FTC offers tutorial on data protection

Business is not the only entity with concerns about hacking and the unauthorized use of personal data. The Federal Trade Commission is so concerned that it has launched an online tutorial for employers to develop ways to secure sensitive information. Although the tips included do not address specific companies, it is a handy way to help employers teach their employees about the best way to handle data and what gaps to look for in making sure data is not grabbed out of a company's database. The tutorial explains the basic principles of how to protect data and how an office needs to take stock of what it has and plan ahead. It also includes steps to improve data security.
