The best protection from data breaches is to not store data you don't need.
@Tarah That is certainly true.
However, I am working in a company which is connecting businesses.
These customers demand that we do 'know your customer" checks and can prove it.
But we should not store or share any information, these companies demand too.
I have to admit, at times these conflicting demands are doing my head in.
@Tarah I use the analogy that data is like a Cobalt-60 radiation source.
If you *actually* need it, it's useful. If you don't, "Drop & Run"; because it's hazmat of the highest order.
