  • Publication number: 20140089039
    Abstract: A method of managing a data breach is implemented in a management platform, preferably as an Internet-accessible service. The method begins upon receipt of data defining a data loss event associated with an organization. The data is processed by a rules engine against a corpus of data sets. A data set is associated with a business requirement (e.g., a State regulation) and encodes a decision tree defining predefined responses prescribed by the business requirement upon occurrence of a data breach. As a result of the processing, a privacy impact assessment defining an impact of the data loss event may be generated. The data loss event may then be escalated into an incident. The incident has associated therewith a response plan that is generated as a function of at least one characteristic of the data loss event and at least one response in the set of predefined responses.

  • Patent number: 7605720
    Abstract: Systems and methods for selecting, sequencing, and presenting traffic events to viewers. This may involve using a prioritizing scheme that estimates the proximity or relevance of the event to the viewers by associating the event with a geographic zone and the viewer with a localized service area served by a particular distribution points of the television content distribution system. In some cases, for each localized service area, zones are given priority values that are used when prioritizing the relevance of traffic events associated with those zones. For viewers in a given localized service area, a first zone may have a higher priority than a second zone, such that in prioritizing traffic events, events associated with the first zone are given a higher priority than events occurring in the second zone. Different zone priority schemes may be associated with a given localized service area at different times of day, week, or year.
