It never rains but it pours. Just as bosses and boards have finally sorted out their worst accounting and compliance troubles, and improved their feeble corporation governance, a new problem threatens to earn them — especially in America — the sort of nasty headlines that inevitably lead to heads rolling in the executive suite: data insecurity. Left, until now, to odd, low-level IT staff to put right, and seen as a concern only of data-rich industries such as banking, telecoms and air travel, information protection is now high on the boss’s agenda in businesses of every variety.
Several massive leakages of customer and employee data this year — from organizations as diverse as Time Warner, the American defense contractor Science Applications International Corp and even the University of California. Berkeley — have left managers hurriedly peering into their intricate 11 systems and business processes in search of potential vulnerabilities.
" Data is becoming an asset which needs no be guarded as much as any other asset " says I am Mendel-son of Stanford University’s business school. "The ability guard customer data is the key to market value, which the board is responsible for on behalf of shareholders". Indeed, just as there is the concept of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), perhaps it is time for GASP. Generally Accepted Security Practices, suggested Eli Noam of New York’s Columbia Business School. "Setting the proper investment level for security, redundancy, and recovery is a management issue, not a technical one. " he says.
The mystery is that this should come as a surprise to any boss. Surely it should be obvious to the dimmest executive that trust, that most valuable of economic assets, is easily destroyed and hugely expensive to restore — and that few things are more likely to destroy trust than a company letting sensitive personal data get into the wrong hands.
The current state of affairs may have been encouraged — though not justified — by the lack of legal penalty (in America, but not Europe) for data leakage. Until California recently passed a law, American firms did not have to tell anyone, even the victim, when data went astray. That may change fast lots of proposed data-security legislation now doing the rounds in Washington. D. C. Meanwhile, the theft of information about some 40 million credit-card accounts in America, disclosed on June 17th, overshadowed a hugely important decision a day earlier by America’s Federal Trade Commission (FTC) that puts corporate America on notice that regulators will act if firms fail to provide adequate data security.
It can be inferred from Paragraph 5 that______.
选项
A、data leakage is more severe in Europe.
B、FTC’s decision is essential to data security.
C、California takes the lead in security legislation.
D、legal penalty is a major Solomon to data leakage.
答案
D
解析
此题为推理题。A选项的意思是欧洲的信息泄露现象更严重,在原文第5段的第1句只提到“lack of legal penalty(in American,but not Europe)for data leakage”,没有提及选项的内容,所以排除A。B用“essential”的说法太绝对了,原文只是提及这一决定,并没有对此做出评论。C选项的意思是California在安全立法方面处于领先。而原文只是说“recently passed a law”(最近通过了一项法律)。D的意思是法律制裁才是解决信息泄露的主要方法,与本段的主旨一致。本段首句就阐明法律赔偿制度才是解决之道。所以D是正确答案。
