| Titre | The damaging impact data breaches have on American society as a whole |
| Texte | This blog was written by an independent guest blogger. In the age of the internet where everyone has a mobile phone and multiple social media profiles, one phrase has become synonymous with doom and dread - data breach. It seems like these breaches have become a regular occurrence in modern society. Small businesses may be particularly susceptible to security hacks, but even large corporations are not immune. Consumers may assume big companies have the best security systems in place, but hackers are savvy and can find their way around these measures. One of the biggest data breaches in recent memory was to Marriott International from 2014 to 2018, where valuable information from over 500 million customers was stolen by hackers. The hackers were able to get into the Starwood hotel brand’s system and remain there after Marriott acquired the company, giving them access to an even greater array of data. Not only did this breach impact many customers’ private information, but it also impacted foreign politics. The attack could be traced back to Chinese hackers, which is influencing potentially one of the biggest trade deals in modern U.S. history. Data breaches go far beyond customers needing to get new credit cards. It can drastically impact consumer trust and even impact foreign affairs. In the long-term, the devastation caused by such hacks can be even worse than most people, businesses, and politicians realize. Quantifying the loss and damages that result from a data breach Destruction may seem like a strong word when dealing with security hacks. However, as you look closely, you may find that it’s an appropriate term. When you try to explain the kind of destruction caused by a data breach, where do you begin? The easiest would be in relation to how much the data breach costs a company. After all, a dollar amount placed on such a scandal would make it easy to quantify how bad one breach is to another. However, data breaches go beyond losing companies’ money in the short-term. They can also have long-term psychological impacts. Thanks to the internet, no one forgets anything anymore. Once people learn a company failed to take adequate security measures to protect their customers’ data, they won’t forget. There are many ways for companies to build cybersecurity policies. It may seem expensive right now, but the potential losses a business may suffer from a data breach make security measures seem like pennies in a bucket. That loss of trust will become even more pronounced if the data breach was the result of something that should have easily been avoided. For example, in the Marriott case, hackers were able to gain access to millions of people’s private information due to two employees’ login credentials becoming compromised. If just those two workers had taken better security measures, then the whole thing could have been avoided. That information, combined with rebranding efforts to gain back consumer trust, adds up. Data breaches can be prevented, and while security measures may seem unnecessary or expensive now, it pales in comparison to what a company has to deal with in the aftermath of a hack. Suddenly, it’s no longer millions |
