Identity theft has been the first item on the Federal Trade Commission's list of consumer complaints for the last 10 years. More than 11 million cases were reported in 2009, according to the Javelin Identity Fraud Survey Report. That's nearly four percent of the US population, with a new theft committed every three seconds. PrivacyRights.org cites over 510 million sensitive records compromised in data breaches from 2005 through 2010.

Gallagher Risk Management Services; Doug Magmuson, managing director for Huron Consulting Group; and Scott Goss, senior privacy counsel for Qualcomm.
