Data breach protection often arrives as an apology and an offer of free credit monitoring. Technology expert Carmi Levy confronts a question worth asking every time another company loses your personal information: who is responsible for protecting you when the damage is already done?

Lose your wallet and you'll cancel your cards, replace your identification and take immediate action. But when a company loses sensitive personal data, the response can feel remarkably different. What would happen if we treated our digital identities with the same urgency as our physical belongings?

Then there's the familiar offer of two years of identity theft protection. What happens when those two years end? Carmi considers the limitations of these services, the responsibilities of technology companies and the uncomfortable reality of how much protection falls on the individual.

Topics: data breaches, credit monitoring, identity theft, cybersecurity, corporate accountability
