Privacy

Privacy has become quite the hot topic from the many breaches of major corporations and organizations like Target and Sony. What most of these cases all have in common is the lack of proper security measures and outdated systems used to store and transport sensitive information like credit card data or even personal information from human resources. Poor practices and loose procedures cause most of the breaches we hear about today. Sony employees involved in the breach were storing passwords to sensitive file systems on a Word document (literally no protection) when the passwords should be on a role based access password manager system stored on a machine within the company on a private IP.
