Let’s talk about this. First, let’s define what a data breach is for a company- A data breach is simply when an unauthorized party gains access to unauthorized data that the company has stored. Companies store this data to improve and customize user experiences and to facilitate connections with users who share interests on the same platform.
Furthermore, there are primarily two actions that can be taken to prevent a data breach: initially, recruiting specialized candidates to repeatedly breach the firewall and upgrade it to prevent access by outside parties or hackers; and secondly, requiring all authorized users to have unique multi-factor authorization when accessing the data on a regular basis. moreover, data should be also be erased in regular intervals to avoid unnecessary leakage or access.
Additionally companies’ response to data breaches and the procedures they follow vary depending on the sensitive nature of the data, the confidentiality of the information, and their ethical standards. However, the most typical course of action is for them to use the backup that has been saved, look into the attack’s origin, and take steps to prevent any additional data loss beyond what has already been exposed.
Apart from that, court procedures are also followed and competent authorities are notified.
