A recent Associated Press poll indicates that most Americans think their personal information is vulnerable online. What’s more, 71% of Americans believe that individuals’ data privacy should be treated as a national security issue.

As digital solutions have become nearly ubiquitous, few terms have taken a more central place in our conversations than data privacy and data security. Consumers, businesses, and organizations of various types are tiring of the barrage of data breaches and process failures resulting in unauthorized distribution of their sensitive information.
