Salt Lake City and St. George Cyber Security Defense Attorneys
A data breach is a security incident in which sensitive, protected, or confidential company data is copied, transmitted, viewed, stolen or used by an unauthorized individual. Data breaches may involve financial information such as credit card or bank details, personal health information, other personally identifiable information, and corporate trade secrets or intellectual property.
Hacking and data breaches are increasing on a daily basis. Costly cyber attacks and resulting lawsuits can happen to both large and small businesses. On average, data breaches cost businesses close to $6 million.
In today’s business world, businesses regularly handle massive amounts of sensitive customer and employee information. A rash of legislation and regulations address the onslaught of hackers who illegally access this information, and the requirements businesses must establish to protect users’ personal data.
