Lifelock Once Again Failed at Its One Job: Protecting Data

I worked at Lifelock. When Zappos had a breach in about 2010(?) my account was one of the ones that gat caught up in that. So myself and another engineer went over the Lifelock systems of the time and upgraded all the security related to it.

We created a pluggable EJB library that could be used by any product inside the company. We worked with infosec and the architect at the time to make sure we used the best encryption mechanism, that keys were on remote locations and that keys were encrypted.

I probably shouldn't put this info on the internet but I was proud of that project as engineering did it off their own bat to increase data security. Basically because we didn't want to be Zappos.

It is possible that companies Lifelock have bought since then or third party apps are not up to par. But the engineering team in Tempe worked hard to make sure PII/PCI data was protected.
