This list certainly does not cover all of the lessons to be learned in an active data breach year like 2007. It does highlight what I believe to be the lessons that can be scratched off of the 2008 list--because they are addressable without a major overhaul of enterprise security strategies or data center environments. Also, by mentioning them as examples, I don’t want to give the impression that the companies cited have much worse data security than every other company, because, in reality, it’s likely that these breaches could have happened to many different brand name organizations. But fortunately for the rest of us, we can learn from other companies’ mistakes.
