Customer Data Security Moves from Red to White Hot Debate – Just in Time for the Holidays
By Steve Rowen, Partner 11/27/2007 This past Sunday, CBS ran a fascinating – if not precisely factual piece – on the growing threat of customer data theft from physical retail locations on its stalwart show, 60 Minutes. As you may well know, RSR has been at the forefront of the CDS discussion for quite some time now, conducting myriad CDS research. In fact, David Hogan, CIO of the National Retail Federation, is interviewed within the 60 Minutes segment – run just a few short days after the NRF and RSR partnered to host a very successful CDS Executive Meeting in Las Vegas. Speakers’ presentations from that show, which included a great presentation from David as well as one from VISA USA, are available on our CDS site. While it is quite clear that the show’s producers capitalized on the opportunity to drum up some dramatic sensationalism just in time for the holiday shopping season, we are very interested to hear your thoughts. Please let us know your reaction to the piece – which is available here under the title of “High Tech Heist”- at our Vox Paradox blog, or by just passing along a personal note. The need for our voices to be heard is quickly growing.
