The Internet records almost all of our data, from identification numbers to family moments caught on camera for posterity. Hackers seek it out with great fervor even if the average person can’t access it. In July 2017, Equifax, a credit reporting agency, suffered a massive data breach. The incident exposed the personal details of approximately 147 million American consumers, including sensitive information such as Social Security numbers, birth dates, addresses, and driver's license numbers. The breach was attributed to a vulnerability in Equifax's website software, which went undetected until late July.
This breach has highlighted the critical need for businesses to enhance cybersecurity measures and safeguard sensitive personal information. It also underscores the significant repercussions of data breaches on individuals, businesses, and society. One of the elements that bolster cybersecurity is a robust firewall. Organizations should keep a constant check on it for its ability to hold against an attack.
