Biggest Data Breaches Of The 21st Century

January 2, 2019

Did you know it takes an average of 191 days for a company to realize there’s been a data breach? That’s according to a high-profile study conducted by the Ponemon Institute for IBM Security. This slow response is detrimental to business. It especially puts small businesses in a vulnerable position as many of them do not have the resources to deal with cyber attacks. A data breach occurs when an unauthorized person gains access to sensitive information. This info can include intellectual property, financial records or employees’ personal details. Because cybercrime has become more and more sophisticated over the years, this has demonstrated a huge need for awareness and training.

It seems counterintuitive that cybercriminals would focus on small businesses. Major news outlets report on the largest incidents, which typically affect the largest companies. In the past, small businesses may have been able to neglect network security with little consequence, but this is not the case today. Small businesses generally have fewer IT resources and devote less time and money to cybersecurity than their larger counterparts.
