“The already controversial American Privacy Rights Act of 2024 (APRA), which was originally introduced in April by U.S. Senate Commerce Committee Chair, Sen. Maria Cantwell, and House Energy and Commerce Committee Chair, Rep. Cathy Rodgers, was reintroduced by Rodgers in the House on June 25 as H.R. 8818, and both expands and compromises on the comprehensive federal consumer privacy framework that was outlined in the first draft of the legislation. … The current version of the bill would require covered entities to be transparent about how they use consumer data, and would give consumers the right to access, correct, delete, and export their data, as well as to opt out of targeted advertising and data transfers.” https://hubs.ly/Q02HZPnK0 Kiteworks helps organizations comply with data privacy regulations like GDPR and CCPA by enabling visibility into where customer data is stored, who has access to it, and what's being done with it.

“The number of US data breach victims in Q2 2024 increased annually by over 1000%, despite a 12% decrease in the actual number of incidents in those three months, according to the Identity Theft Resource Center (ITRC). … It claimed the Q2 increase in victim numbers was due to the impact of a small number of large breaches. … Through the first half of the year, the ITRC tracked 1571 data compromises, putting H1 2024 14% higher than H1 2023 – which became a record year for breaches. The number of data breach victims in the first six months of 2024 (1,078,989,742) increased 490% compared to the first half of 2023 (182,645,409).” https://hubs.ly/Q02HFWbt0 With Kiteworks, organizations effectively manage third-party risk with maximum visibility and control over the PII, PHI, and IP employees share with third parties.
