I disagree, but I want to be clear that I disagree on practical, not ideological, grounds. As others have pointed out, handing out prison sentences for security breaches would be counterproductive. If we make it financially ruinous, companies are more likely to change their behavior in the way we want then to.


I think a CISO or CEO going to jail would send a strong message to the rest of the business community.


That message would be "silently cover up any data breaches and hope they don't get discovered", wouldn't it?


I think that sentiment is already prevalent.
