[03:43] The evolution of incident response and where the industry is today. 

[04:53] There is a consumer expectation that if you hand your information over, a company will take the proper steps to protect it.

[07:38] Laws are struggling to keep up with technology and change.

[09:55] Lawmakers don’t necessarily understand the scope of what they're asking companies to do in response to these incidents. 

[13:56] Affected entities are surprised at the amount of data they have and what it contains.
