The 2016 US election cycle made international hacking part of the global conversation. Hacking is now one of the most widely discussed threats across all professional sectors. While Russian hacking dominated the political sphere, Chinese hacking is proving to be the biggest threat to corporations. Each successive hack reported in the news has made companies increasingly aware of the vulnerabilities in their systems.
Hacks can have a significant economic impact on a company’s profits, but it doesn’t usually make or break the business. Large companies have the resources to withstand a dip in sales or large lawsuit. However, smaller companies may find that even a small security breach can take down their entire operation.
Any company, large or small, should be committed to making sure their websites and databases are secure, both for the sake of their business and for their customers. No one wants to see their entire infrastructure taken down by a malware attack, nor do customers want their data to be exposed to the world. Hacking is an ever-changing threat that can seem difficult to prevent. However, enacting efficient cybersecurity measures isn’t as daunting as it may seem.
