Answer:
There are plenty of stories about cyber crime affecting companies and individuals in the security industry and mainstream media – companies having data stolen, personal data being used for fraud, phishing scams, identity theft/fraud and ransomware being used to extort money.
The question is how can you and your business learn from these past cases and reduce your own exposure to the same sorts of attacks? It is easy to take one of two quite opposite views:
Successful attacks are very clever, organised and advanced and so there is a high certainty that they will succeed; you have to accept that irrespective of the strength of defences in place.
Successful attacks are very basic and exploit simple failures that should never have happened or been allowed to exist as risks.
The reality is that most scenarios that have occurred are somewhere in between these two extremes and those cases we see publicised, where data is lost and systems go down, are a combination of a clever attack, an opportunity, some luck and a degree of foolishness or negligence on the part of the organisation affected (and indeed often on the part of the perpetrator for getting caught). This is in addition to the relative strengths of the technology deployed by the attacker and defender.
