The documentÂ's author is Claudiu Popa, InformaticaÂ's founderand a respected information security expert:  our priority was to produce somethingthat anyone could download and refer to, so a simple list of tips and best practiceswas the best thing we could offer the public . Mr. Popa recommends that companiesuse the free guidelines to update their own privacy policies and internal trainingprograms. We know that these issues have more than doubled over the past couple of years andawareness is growing said Popa, who teaches Canadian companies about security andprivacy awareness.  We find that people understand this better than the securitythreat because itÂ's something thatÂ's closer to what they do and what they careabout: their wallet. Reported Identity theft amounted to $16.3M last year inCanada, a mere fraction of the hundreds of millions reportedly lost worldwide.  Thisis a global issue with growing awareness, but individuals and companies still areunsure of how to prevent and correct it . Informatica consultants and educators provide training to every level of theorganization, across Canada, but the most effective way to combat the threat is toindividually adopt best practice said Popa. Use and share reliable resources suchas the Personal Information Protection and Identity Theft (PIPIDT) Prevention Tipsdocument. The document is presented as a DOÂ's and DONÂ'Ts white paper and availablefor free download from the Informatica Web site athttp://www.informaticasecur ity.com/press/2007/IDTheft.htm l For more information on InformaticaÂ's privacy and security programs, contact Claudiu Popa, President (www.InformationSecurityCanada .com orwww.SecurityandPrivacy.ca).
