There are lots of software and firewall options out there that can stop data breaches in their tracks, but there are still plenty of ways hackers can get around them.  One of the most popular ways is to steal employee credentials or even their mobile devices.  That’s why monitoring employee activity is so important.

Most data breaches take place in the healthcare, business, and government and military sectors, but anyone on the web is susceptible.  With data breaches, it’s not a matter of if but rather a matter of when.  Learn all about data breaches and how you can protect your company or organization from this infographic.  You might be surprised how common and far-reaching data breaches can be!  If you discover them early, you can limit the damage.
