A professional hacker reveals why so many companies are falling victim to data breaches, and the one thing every company should do to avoid getting hacked
we've seen in recent years, and it involves the way affected companies manage servers that store sensitive data, says professional "white hat" hacker Marc Rogers.breach from July is among the most recent examples. The suspected hacker is said to have obtained data about the credit card company's customers and applicants by taking advantage of a firewall misconfiguration in the firm's cloud infrastructure.
"That's probably the most common vector that I'm seeing across all of these breaches, is that companies don't seem to know what data assets are out there," Rogers said when speaking with Business Insider. "And consequently, there [are] a lot of insecure systems hanging on the internet that can be readily accessed."
Boosting the security of the servers that store such information could dramatically cut down on the number of data breaches, according to Rogers.
