Director of Verizon Lowell McAdam once said that any company would sooner or later become a victim to hackers, no matter how hard it tried to ensure cybersecurity. McAdam has his reasons for such an opinion. In 2013, three months after the acquisition of Yahoo!, three billion accounts were at risk due to a single hacker attack.
However, the inevitability of an attack doesn’t mean that no protective measures need to be taken. After all, one hack in the entire history of a company is much better than ten hacks or a hundred hacks (though hardly any company, even a large one, can survive this). Although hackers’ activity is growing, and incidents are more frequent, many companies continue to ignore the danger.
