The poll of 1,150 adults for the Cyber Security Industry Alliance (CSIA) by research company Pineda Consulting found that only 18 percent of respondents think that existing laws are enough to protect consumer privacy.
The CSIA cited the research findings as having “political consequences” and that “the lack of action by the U.S. government is manifesting itself through continued economic losses.”
The survey found that many expressed a clear preference for strong federal data security legislation even when presented with the argument that it will result in unwanted notices and higher prices with 70 percent of likely voters agreeing that Congress should pass a strong data security law.
