About this Discussion:

Erin Banks has become the voice of security after taking control of her own career and creating her own personal brand and blog www.banksrants.com.  We've become a society where sharing has become far more than just caring, and is now a way of life. However, how much information is too much, and when should we hold companies more accountable for taking better care of what we are so freely providing to them?

Plus what should companies have in place when it comes to actually taking care of our data?
