2019-11-19 07:21:00 | IDG Contributor Network: 3 keys to preserving customer relationships in the wake of a data breach (lien direct) | For any organization, the primary objective of a “crisis” is to get through the event with as little long-term impact as possible. This means all the elements of your company that were thriving beforehand should still be thriving afterwards. From this perspective, it's not enough to get a system back up and running after a data breach, if you've damaged other parts of the business in the process – for example, your customers lose trust in you and take their business elsewhere.Recent data from Centrify and the Ponemon Institute suggest that customers are becoming increasingly sensitive to the impact of a data breach and how a company manages the response, with 65% saying a data breach had caused them to lose trust in the organization, and 27% discontinuing their relationship with that company. The 2019 Cost of Data Breach Report from IBM Security and the Ponemon Institute found that 36% of the cost of an average data breach was due to business disruption, a category that includes lost customers. The report also found that the average cost of a data breach was nearly $1 million lower when a company lost less than 1 percent of their customers. For those losing over 4 percent of their customers, the cost was roughly $1.8 million more. The report concluded that “the loss of customer trust had serious financial consequences,” on businesses experiencing a data breach. | Data Breach | ||

2019-10-31 13:00:00 | Data breach: how to prevent it (lien direct) | We are living in the era of the digital economy where companies are collecting and storing lots of valuable customer data on a daily basis. As it has turned out, data is an important input in the competitiveness, growth, and revenue generation for any company across industries. But every valuable resource has its vulnerabilities, and data is not left out in this unfortunate fact. A notable vulnerability of sensitive data that has left many IT departments scratching their heads is data breaching. What does “Data Breach” mean? When unauthorized people gain access to confidential data, either by stealing it from a company database or through leakage from an insider, that action is known as a data breach. How is data stolen? Well, hackers have mastered the art of infiltrating data security systems for both small and big businesses and copying sensitive data, often without being noticed or traced. In other cases, staff members maliciously or accidentally leak important information to data spies. Think of a case where a staff member leaves their unlocked computer or an unencrypted external hard drive at home or at a public place, and then a malicious person copies data from the device. That is an accidental data breach. The device can also be stolen. Common data breach methods As sophisticated as data thieves try to be, they aren’t too creative with their methods. Experienced data security experts are sometimes able to track them down by establishing the vulnerable areas through which they entered into the system. In most cases, malicious actors take advantage of failed software updates and reckless end-user practices to phish data. Here are more possible data breach methods: 1. Fabricated or stolen credentials If your company uses weak credentials to establish the identity of staff members, hackers can easily fabricate those credentials and enter your database unsuspected. Think of a case where a user’s username is his email and his initials or date of birth his password; a data thief can easily guess such login credentials. Also, hackers can steal user credentials from their PC. 2. BYOD Bring your own devices (BYOD) has its perks, e.g. increasing employee efficiency, but it is now growing to become a serious workplace data threat. Most of these employee devices aren’t encrypted, and some even have malware-laden apps installed. Any important files and emails in such a device can easily be retrieved by a hacker. This is highly risky for recruitment agencies, especially when they outsource work to employees overseas. 3. Card fraud There have been cases of data thieves gaining access to ATM machines and gas pumps and attaching spying malware that copies credit card data from anyone who swipes his/her card in the machine. And because many people recycle pins and passwords, the malware uses the stolen credit card information to guess usernames and passwords and later use them to access company and private employee emails. How to prevent data breach 1. Invest in strong cybersecurity Recent cases of a data breach show that businesses can no longer rely on firewalls, antivirus software, and intrusion detection software to protect their data from a possible data breaches. It is important to install multi-layered cybersecurity systems that do not only thwart possible infiltration attempts but also identify possible vulnerabilities before hackers do. 2. Remote data backup If your company has remote employees, it is important that you invest in a strong remote data backup system. It is time to get rid of backup tapes as they can easily be lost, stolen, or mishandled before they reach the main office. A good backup system should enable you to backup data a | Data Breach Malware Vulnerability | ||

As I cross state lines from Maine to New Hampshire, the rules of the road change.Increasingly, the same can be said for the laws governing privacy. While those patrolling the beat might understand the jurisdictional boundaries; technologically, they're often irrelevant, forcing many organizations to pay attention to all such laws at once.It's a winding road ahead.As privacy professionals driving new technologies forward peer beyond their dashboards, a rapidly changing US landscape is unfolding. The US privacy regime is already complex. It features a host of sectoral laws at the federal level, FTC enforcement of unfair and deceptive practices to plug the holes, 50 plus data breach notification laws, mini state-level FTC acts, a smattering of state privacy laws, and an aggressive plaintiff's bar. While that's a lot to grapple with, the pace of change in privacy laws, and the technologies they seek to regulate, is only accelerating. | Data Breach | ||
