Cybercrime is something that impacts everyone, both professionally and personally. At work, a data breach could permanently damage an organization’s reputation and result in lawsuits and fines. On an individual level, when our sensitive info ends up in the wrong hands, it could lead to identify theft and additional cyber-attacks. This month’s newsletter identifies how data breaches happen, their impact on us personally, and what we can do to prevent cybercrime at work, at home, and on the go.
