We have a definition for pii in the states is kind of hit-or-miss in 2024 doesn’t get changed on that has a better definition of pii.

Information that you need to protect so if you are building a system if you’re doing security system, if you are a higher level of classification keep that safe, so I’ll give you an example. If you are running a public forum and people have account information in that account information.

Let’s see if it’s billing address. Do you say, you know Mark lives at this place. I’m in this city is address here is that information is pii put me in that system is maybe my posts on these public forms that you need to protect. Sophia is a handy way for us to identify an information.

I need to look no further than the US government put against the Lazarus group email addresses to Thai Berry cyberattacks to have North Korean hackers. Even just called because of Equifax anniversary again, check out the Trend Micro blog blog that time I could account for some thoughts for me specifically on the Equifax information personal health information in the way for us to broadly categorized data that requires additional protections on the additional defenses anything to be aware of time.

You should know every point where I really want to make sure that it’s personal impact. That’s what the PS4 let me know at Market. You are set up for a fantastic day. I will be back on the show most likely on Tuesday, but I’m back in here. So we’ll see if Monday is definitely off, but I will talk to you either Tuesday or Wednesday.
