More Protection for Government Groups

Why is it that business is always treated like the criminal?  It seems like protection is built in for consumers and government only.  The City of Charlotte loses data and you barely hear about it.  Everyone seems to know the Countrywide data loss story.  Is one worse than the other or are they equal in severity?  Regulation does nothing for data security and information protection, especially when we exclude municipalities that have more information on us than the average business. 

Only you can reduce your risk and protect your assets.  Security is not just products, it is your practices around those products.  Washington is not coming to help the people that make this country work.
