re: Big Data Makes A Big Target
I have to agree that
in order to keep your security systems up to date they must under go personal
penetration testing to see what their threats and vulnerabilities are. I have
to further say that if you are a large company then you must go through these
tests in order to ensure the security of your users data. I still say even if
you are a small mom and pop shop you should do a little homework in regards to
maintaining your own security. LivingSocial at the very least was smart enough
to encrypt the passwords, so the attackers were limited in some source.
