The release of the Annual Data Breach Report supports the Data Privacy Week 2024 initiative to educate businesses on data collection best practices that respect privacy and promote transparency

SAN DIEGO, Jan. 11, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Today, the Identity Theft Resource Center® (ITRC), a nationally recognized nonprofit organization established to support victims of identity crime, announced its commitment to Data Privacy Week 2024. The ITRC acknowledges and supports the principle that all organizations share the responsibility of being conscientious stewards of personal information.

As part of Data Privacy Week 2024, the ITRC will unveil the 18th edition of our Annual Data Breach Report on Thursday, January 25, at the Identity, Authentication and the Road Ahead Cybersecurity Policy Forum, presented by the Better Identity Coalition, the FIDO Alliance and the ITRC. The 2023 Annual Data Breach Report will explore a dramatic increase in reported data compromises and the underlying trends behind the growth. For more information on the Forum, visit idtheftcenter.org/events or click here.

"Our report will highlight startling trends and provide data and information we hope can lead to positive changes and greater respect for the need to protect personal information," said Eva Velasquez, President and CEO of the Identity Theft Resource Center.

"The ITRC is pleased to be a Champion of Data Privacy Week 2024. We believe the findings in our 2023 Annual Data Breach Report will reinforce this year's Data Privacy Week initiative of helping organizations understand why respecting people's data is so important," said Eva Velasquez, President and CEO of the Identity Theft Resource Center. "Our report will highlight startling trends and provide data and information we hope can lead to positive changes and greater respect for the need to protect personal information."

For Data Privacy Week 2024, the ITRC will also have more information on its new Breach Alert for Business (BA4B) service that helps organizations verify vendors are meeting or exceeding a company's cybersecurity policies and performance. At a time when attacks against third-party vendors are growing, the ITRC's BA4B service confirms vendors' previous data breaches and issues alerts if a vendor is the subject of future data compromises.

Data Privacy Week is an annual expanded effort from Data Privacy Day – taking place from January 21 - 27, 2024. Data Privacy Week aims to spread awareness about online privacy among individuals and organizations. The goal is twofold: to help citizens understand that they have the power to manage their data and to help organizations understand why it is important to respect their users' data.
