Massachusetts state law mandates that any business or enterprise that handles a consumer\u2019s personal information must alert the AG\u2019s office in the event of a breach. Massachusetts defines personal information as social security numbers, driver\u2019s license or state-issued identification card numbers, and financial account information.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"widget\"><div class=\"aside-card\">\t\t\t<div class=\"textwidget\"><p><a href=\"https:\/\/solutionsreview.com\/security-information-event-management\/security-information-event-management-vendor-map\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-1682\" src=\"https:\/\/solutionsreview.com\/security-information-event-management\/files\/2020\/02\/SIEM_VM_SB.jpg\" alt=\"Download Link to SIEM Vendor Map\" width=\"800\" height=\"100\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div><\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">By allowing businesses to submit a digital notice, the new online portal will help the AG\u2019s office handle the sheer volume of received data breach reports. According to the Associated Press, Healey\u2019s office has received more than 21,000 reports since the law went into effect in November of 2007. In 2017 alone the AG\u2019s office received 3,821 reports of enterprise breaches, affecting million of citizens. This totals to an average of a little over ten reports of breaches a day. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">AG Healey said in an official statement: \u201cData breaches are damaging, costly and put Massachusetts residents at risk of identity theft and financial fraud, so it\u2019s vital that businesses come forward quickly after a breach to inform consumers and law enforcement. This new feature allows businesses to more efficiently report data breaches so we can take action and share information with the public.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The release of this portal speaks to two very different realities in cybersecurity. On the one hand, the necessity of the portal to process the reports highlights the fundamental deluge of data breaches occurring every day\u2014not just in Massachusetts but throughout the world. On the other hand, this does suggest that governments are beginning to fully recognize the modern hacking epidemic and the severity of each breach to consumers and enterprises alike. In order to truly enforce digital safety regulations, governments will need greater flexibility and versatility in their reporting systems to keep up with the barrage of attacks. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The web portal is available through the Massachusetts Attorney General\u2019s website. A breached enterprise must still notify the office of Consumer Affairs and Business Regulation and affected Massachusetts residents even if they use the portal.<\/span><\/p>\n<br \/>Widget not in any sidebars<br \/>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Maura Healey, the Attorney General for Massachusetts, announced the release of a new online portal to allow businesses and enterprises to report data breaches quickly.
