WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama says the age of technology and digital innovation has created enormous vulnerabilities for the U.S.

Obama is addressing online privacy issues at the Federal Trade Commission. He’s proposing legislation that would require companies to inform customers within 30 days if their data has been hacked.

Obama says the benefits of technology come with risks. He’s citing the recent hack on Sony as an example.

Obama says every state currently has its own policy on when companies must notify consumers of a breach. He wants a single, 30-day standard across the country. Obama says there ought to be baseline protections across industries.

The cybersecurity proposal comes as Obama seeks to call attention to issues he’ll highlight in his State of the Union address.
