Information Security – To Hack or Not To Be Hacked APQP

When we think about IT Security, we typically think about the large hacks that were reported in the press. When viewed as a whole, we can understand the magnitude of lost data. It is no surprise that these hacks are what comes to mind when we think about information security. The largest hack happened to Yahoo in 2013, can you imagine the effects of 3 billion accounts being hacked? That is approximately 10 times the current US population. The second biggest hack is the attack against Marriot which affected 500 million accounts. The Marriott hack hits especially close to home for me because I use them often and am a top status traveler.
