Excellent article on Mass's new Security & Privacy Laws.
While I have visted and attended some training in the great state of Massachusetts, I am not a resident. Nonetheless, I am very impressed and pleased to see the folks in Massachusetts take a more serious approach to security and privacy.As a practitioner of Information Security and Privacy this shows me they have not only heard the voices of the citizens of Massachusetts, but have acknowledged that information is an asset and must be protected appropriately.
The rest of the states as a whole need to adopt or modify their laws to enhance security and privacy laws.
