Unfortunately, data breaches have become the norm in the digital age, so why aren't we more prepared for them?
According to a Risk Based Security report, there were 3,932 publicly reported breach events between 2019 and 2020. The latest company to be affected by a data breach was T-Mobile this week. It’s not the first data breach—and it certainly won’t be the last—therefore, experts say companies need to be better equipped to handle the next big hack.
“Continued data breaches raise the question as to who is responsible for protecting corporations and consumers from cybercrime,” Joshua Motta, CEO of Coalition, wrote to Lifewire in an email. “The breach is not the point of failure, but the response is. And to prevent cyberattacks, organizations can’t keep thinking in terms of if they will happen, but when.”
