Book excerpt: Data breaches are, for most organisations, a crushing blow to their customers and staffs confidence in them, to their reputation and brand value, and to the career prospects of senior executives. A data breach may be an even bigger calamity to the individuals whose data has been exposed to Internet criminals, to the press and, possibly, to malicious and ill-wishing acquaintances. Identity theft is a growing problem, and one which is inadequately policed. Individuals whose personal and/or financial data has been breached can find that their credit histories are compromised, and may have to spend years and substantial sums clearing their names. Provides essential support - putting measures in place Those organisations that have a tried and tested procedure in place for dealing with data breaches will not only put themselves in a position to obey the current and emerging data breach legislation but, more importantly, will enable themse

Book excerpt: A novel account of how the law contributes to the insecurity of our data and a bold way to rethink it. Digital connections permeate our lives-and so do data breaches. Given that we must be online for basic communication, finance, healthcare, and more, it is alarming how difficult it is to create rules for securing our personal information. Despite the passage of many data security laws, data breaches are increasing at a record pace. In Breached!, Daniel Solove and Woodrow Hartzog, two of the world's leading experts on privacy and data security, argue that the law fails because, ironically, it focuses too much on the breach itself. Drawing insights from many fascinating stories about data breaches, Solove and Hartzog show how major breaches could have been prevented or mitigated through a different approach to data security rules. Current law is counterproductive. It pummels organizations that have suffered a breach but doesn't address the many other actors that contribute to the problem: software companies that create vulnerable software, device companies that make insecure devices, government policymakers who write regulations that increase security risks, organizations that train people to engage in risky behaviors, and more. Although humans are the weakest link for data security, policies and technologies are often designed with a poor understanding of human behavior. Breached! corrects this course by focusing on the human side of security. Drawing from public health theory and a nuanced understanding of risk, Solove and Hartzog set out a holistic vision for data security law-one that holds all actors accountable, understands security broadly and in relationship to privacy, looks to prevention and mitigation rather than reaction, and works by accepting human limitations rather than being in denial of them. The book closes with a roadmap for how we can reboot law and policy surrounding data security.

Book excerpt: Want to Keep Your Devices and Networks Safe from Cyberattacks with Just a Few Easy Steps? Read on. Technology can seem like a blessing or a curse, depending on the circumstances. Giving us extraordinary capabilities that once weren''t even imaginable, technology can make life better on all fronts. On the flip side, maybe you''ve heard, or even uttered yourself, the frustrating refrain of "great when it works" when your device isn''t working quite as it should. And no doubt, you''ve heard about the serious problems that viruses and cybercriminals cause for people and their technology. Cyber attacks are a growing problem that''s affecting an increasing number of devices and people. The current numbers are staggering. Hackers create and deploy over 300 000 new malware programs every single day on networks, individual computers, and other devices. And there are nearly half a million ransomware attacks every year. Malware threats come in a number of forms, including spyware, viruses, worms, bots, and trojans. Ransomware is a unique scenario where people hold your computer or system for ransom. The problem is only going to get worse for the simple fact that the number of vulnerabilities is increasing. More and more of your devices are tied into the same network. Keep in mind, your security is only as strong as your weakest link, and it''s doubtful your coffee maker has the same level of protection that your cell phone does. Every device or function you add to your network is another potential security vulnerability inviting in new attacks. These prevalent risks include computers, smartphones, voice assistants, email, social media, and public WIFI. There are also some lesser-known risks. For instance, when was the last time you thought about your key fob being hacked? In this environment, preventative measures can go a long way to protect your devices and avoid costly cleanups. The problem may seem abstract and far away like it won''t happen to you. But unfortunately, hackers don ́t discriminate organizations from individuals or the other way around when they are looking for their next target. Most people fall in the common trap of neglecting the danger until it happens to them. By then, the solution has become much more expensive. The average cyberattack cost for a small business is $8,700. In the US, the average cost per lost or stolen records per individual is $225. The good news is that with a few precautions and prescribed behaviors, you can reduce these risks dramatically. Understanding how to protect yourself against these attacks in the first place is key. Cyber Security educates you on these threats and clearly walks you through the steps to prevent, detect, and respond to these attacks. In Cyber Security, you ́ll discover: How vulnerable you are right now and how to protect yourself within less than 24h A simple, straight-forward security framework for preventing, detecting, and responding to attacks The most damaging but hard to detect attacks and what to do about it Which unexpected device could be attacked and have life-threatening consequences Different types of malware and how to handle each effectively Specific protection actions used by the FBI and CIA that you can take too Security dangers of popular social media networks, unknown to most users, but regularly exploited by hackers And much more. A lot of people resist securing their technology because it can be overwhelming. It''s not clear where to start and it can be confusing, frustrating, and time-consuming. The key is to keep it simple and manageable If you want to protect your devices and networks from cyberattacks, scroll up and click the "Add to Cart" button right now.

Download or read book A Case Study of the Capital One Data Breach written by Nelson Novaes Neto and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 21 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In an increasingly regulated world, with companies prioritizing a big part of their budget for expenses with cyber security protections, why have all of these protection initiatives and compliance standards not been enough to prevent the leak of billions of data points in recent years? New data protection and privacy laws and recent cyber security regulations, such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) that went into effect in Europe in 2018, demonstrate a strong trend and growing concern on how to protect businesses and customers from the significant increase in cyberattacks. Does the flaw lie in the existing compliance requirements or in how companies manage their protections and enforce compliance controls? The purpose of this research was to answer these questions by means of a technical assessment of the Capital One data breach incident, one of the largest financial institutions in the U.S. This case study aims to understand the technical modus operandi of the attack, map out exploited vulnerabilities, and identify the related compliance requirements, that existed, based on the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Cybersecurity Framework, version 1.1, an agnostic framework widely used in the global industry to provide cyber threat mitigation guidelines. The results of this research and the case study will help government entities, regulatory agencies, and companies to improve their cyber security controls for the protection of organizations and individuals.
