Comments from Fujitsu - FriendFinder data breach
May 2015 by Marc Jacob
“Another day, another data breach – this time FriendFinder is in the spotlight. Although this hack is looking to be resolved quickly, it once again highlights that it is no longer about prevention, but instead about accepting a data breach will occur and moving to a proactive approach which allows better preparation for dealing with today’s threats. The amount of data and confidential information that is transacted every day, coupled with the growth in reliance on digital services, means that any organisation is at risk – making most an easy target in the eyes of a cyber-criminal.
“According to research from Fujitsu, only 9% of consumers believe British organisations are doing enough to protect their data with a third admitting that their trust has declined in the last 12 months.
“In today’s threat landscape, organisations can no longer afford to be complacent when it comes to training and should implement an effective security education programme to help combat today’s cyber hackers.”
