Following the news that approximately 143 million US customers of credit report giant Equifax may have had information compromised in a cyber security breach Tim Erlin, VP, Product Management and Strategy at Tripwire, explains why security teams at other organizations should use this incident as an opportunity to evaluate their own plans:

“It’s clearly early days for this news, and we can expect to learn more about the details in the future. With nearly every publicly announced breach, there’s new information discovered after the initial disclosure.

“The best time to develop a response plan for a breach is well before one occurs. Information security teams at other organizations should use this incident as an opportunity to evaluate their own plans.

“All organizations that collect and store sensitive data are targets. Doing the basics right, such as ensuring secure configurations, managing vulnerabilities and capturing log data, is the most effective way to prevent breaches.

“A breach isn’t a single point in time, but a span of time in which an organization is compromised. Prevention is primary, but detection and response are absolutely necessary as well.”
