Yahoo hack - Comment from Smoothwall

December 2016 by David Navin, Head of Corporate at Smoothwall

Following the news overnight of Yahoo’s hack affecting 1bn users, if you are covering the story and looking for additional commentary, the comments from David Navin, Head of Corporate at Smoothwall.

"Cyber hacks are becoming an increasingly regular occurrence with this latest hack of Yahoo being the largest we’ve ever seen. No company is immune to the threats of cybercrime, and this should be yet another wake up call for businesses, pushing them to be prepared for when a breach will inevitably happen. It is imperative that companies ensure that they have a robust security system in place to mitigate these risks and to safeguard their data should a breach occur.

“Recent research revealed that 13% of businesses believe they could lose customers in the event of a breach, which demonstrates that there is still a naive mind-set from those that don’t think a breach will affect their reputation. It needs to be hammered home that every company is vulnerable and will suffer the repercussions should a breach occur.

“The importance of security needs to be at the top of every boardrooms agenda and across the C-suite. They need ensure that they are complying with regulation and build a layered security defence which spans encryption, firewalls, web filtering and ongoing threat monitoring as well as a proactive stance. Companies no matter how big or small all need to have all the measures and contingency plans in place so that if a breach does occur, they are able to recover and instil customer confidence as soon as possible.”
