Data Breaches: Case Studies of Corporate Catastrophes

An astonishing number of large businesses grapple with cyber attacks every year. Billions are spent both dealing with the aftermath and trying to prevent future breaches. Whilst some breaches result from sophisticated programming exploits, the vast majority stem from ‘spear-phishing’: an employee clicks on a link in a legitimate-looking email and unwittingly enters their username and password. It’s a pleasant fantasy to think we can eliminate this risk entirely without crippling our staff’s productivity. This book shatters that illusion, offering practical solutions instead. We examine data breaches at Uber, Yahoo, Sony, Marriott, Equifax and others, covering: The business context The risk environment The extent of the damage For each case, we suggest ways to mitigate the damage or prevent the breach entirely. Essential reading for business leaders and cybersecurity professionals seeking to protect their organisations in an increasingly hostile digital landscape. – ASIN: B0D9KMPTL7 | ISBN13: 9798333184221 | ISBN-13: 979-8333184221
