Simple: Research the potential results of dataloss that do not involve
identity theft/credit issues, write about these new ideas, and put the
information out there.

Notsosimple: Hope for interest, particularly if there is some sort of
marketable protection against these other outcomes. Sadly, the ability for
someone to profit from offering services to protect against these
potential non-credit-related outcomes of dataloss events may have an
effect on whether or not there is much interest in them.

Research, write, publish: Create awareness and cross your fingers?
