Dear Readers,

We’re so honored to have delivered thousands of copies of our 2018 Global Edition at IPEXPO Europe
2018 in print and online. If you missed reading it, it’s available at this link.

We’ve just made it through October, 2018, which is National Cybersecurity Awareness Month and still
the record number of breaches proves there’s much to do in defending personally identifiable information
(PII). From the Facebook breach to the Google breach, now Google is shutting down Google+, one can
only imagine how well oiled the cybercrime machine has become.

Your personally identifiable information (PII), if stolen, is on sale, right now on the dark web. The same
will hold true of your customers PII if it’s been lost or stolen. Not only does this make cybercriminals a
lot of money on the dark web, it also harms your business. While they profit, if your company is a victim
of a breach, you suffer. While it’s absolutely not fair, the best thing you can do is learn how to manage
and measure risk – try using the http://www.fairinstititue.org standard and remember that risk is truly
measurable, so start measuring your risk right away and take proactive steps to reduce the risk of a
breach to your organization.

With much appreciation to our readers, writers, sponsors and friends!

Warmest regards,

Gary S. Miliefsky
