American companies paid significantly more on average for every data breach in 2018 than companies in any other country

As we've seen over the course of the last few years alone, companies in the US have have had a particularly difficult time dealing with the repercussion of data breaches. In 2018, about 25% of data breaches were due to human error rather than criminal activity, according to IBM Security and Ponemon Institute, and apparently they all happened at a monetary rate disproportionate to the rest of the world.  It's not just that they're struggling to maintain their reputations.

Route 66: Why I Went, What I Learned and What’s Next

Every day the sticker stared at me. To be more accurate though, it’s a postcard that I taped to the lamp next to my desk. A simple black and white postcard, all it says is “US Route 66.” It was more than that to me though, it was a daily reminder, a prod that while never insistent, was always there, hovering at the edges. It was my reminder of a trip I’d always wanted to take, I just never seemed to be able to make the time for it. Of course that’s what I told myself, the truth is, I think I wa...
