Beaverton, Oregon (PRWEB) May 21, 2009 -- ID Experts, the leader in data breach prevention and remediation, today announced that it has joined the Internet Security Alliance (ISAlliance). Rick Kam, president of ID Experts will join and co-chair a committee on the financial impact of cyber crime.

ID Experts has managed hundreds of data breach incidents for major U.S. corporations and government agencies, saving them millions of dollars. According to the Ponemon Institute's recent U.S. Cost of Data Breach Study, data breach costs continue to rise costing companies $202 per compromised customer record in 2008, with the average per-incident cost being $6.65 million.

In addition, ID Experts protects millions of individuals from identity theft with a team of certified professionals and is working to advance identity crime awareness, education, legislative influence and best practices with The Identity Crime Victims Bill of Rights, http://santa-fe-group.com/whitepapers/download.php. This paper, which has been widely reviewed by legislators and government agencies, calls for consistent processes for handling identity crime incidents, amendments to privacy legislation and regulation so victims can more easily access and correct their personal information records.    

"Rick Kam is the ideal complement to our organization, bringing expertise in identity crime and data breach incident management," said Larry Clinton, President and CEO of Internet Security Alliance. "Cyber attacks and identity crime are growing, not slowing, putting millions at risk for exposing personally identifiable information. We intend to promulgate best practices that drive positive change, and Rick will be a valuable asset in these endeavors."

The goal of the Internet Security Alliance is to promote sound information security practices, policies, and technologies that enhance the security of the Internet and global information systems. The Internet Security Alliance was created to provide a forum for information sharing and thought leadership on information security issues. The ISAlliance represents corporate security interests before legislators and regulators, and in so doing the alliance aims to identify and standardize best practices in Internet security and network survivability, while creating a collaborative environment to develop and implement information security solutions.
