About Us

The Data Breach Times was formed to help fill the informational void created by the democratization of data breaches, a plague caused by opportunists stealing protected information.  As a consequence of the ever-increasing number of individuals affected, and the need for ever-expanding required services, services are too often being provided by inexperienced, inadequately trained and poorly regulated providers.

In order to gain control of the resulting chaos, it is necessary to have the industry insight required to make informed decisions as to how to proceed.  We are a group of industry experts trying to help fill that need.
