The long recoup from a data loss

For the past year the news has been filled with reports on lost laptops, stolen data banks and hacking incidents from the government to the private sector. But little is heard after the fact--particularly insight on how enterprises dealt with such scenarios. That's why a case study on how one healthcare provider recovered after the theft of data on over 300,000 patients is a valuable story to read. Providence Health & Services suffered the data loss over a year ago when data backup tapes were taken from a vehicle. Recovery has already sapped $7 million in costs and even brought on a few legal battles, as well as employee resignations. It's not a pretty story, but it can prove invaluable to helping avoid such a scenario.
