A databreach could ruin your business overnight. Are you prepared to deal with regulatory fines, lawsuits, costly investigations, disrupted operations, and destroyed trust while cybercriminals profit freely from stolen data? That’s the harsh aftermath companies face today following high-profile breaches.
As cyber threats evolve, safeguarding your organization’s data has become an utmost priority. Whether you’re a small business owner, a corporate leader, or an Information and Communication Technology (ICT) specialist, the consequences of a databreach are severe and far-reaching. Outdated software?
Now more than ever, businesses are focusing on preventing databreaches and implementing response protocols to mitigate breaches if they occur. According to the 2023 IBM DataBreach Report , the global average cost of databreaches was $4.45 What are databreaches?
As if Yahoo didn’t have enough on its plate, the tech company is now facing a probe from the Securities and Exchange Commission as to whether or not it could have acted more promptly in response to two massive databreaches that left over a billion customers’ information compromised. America’s DataBreach Problem.
Common threats for SMEs include phishing, malware, insider threats, and social engineering. SMEs can protect themselves by enforcing strong password policies, using two-factor authentication, training employees, updating software regularly, and backing up data. Lets get started.

Tokenization: Generative AI contributes to the implementation of tokenization, a technique that replaces sensitive data, such as credit card numbers, with unique tokens. These tokens are generated for each transaction, reducing the risk of databreaches. This provides digital payment methods with an additional level of security.
Phishing is when a cyber thief collects personal or sensitive information like passwords and credit card information using a fraudulent website that seems legit to the victim. An effective cyber fraud strategy should prevent physical access to sensitive data and render that data useless in case it falls into the wrong hands by encrypting it.
As banking services went digital, encryption became increasingly important for protecting information. In the late 20th century, banks began adopting cryptographic algorithms to shield data. The DataEncryption Standard (DES) emerged in the 1970s, followed by the RSA algorithm for secure communications.
The same is true for cyber criminals who are always looking for new strategies to exploit our system vulnerabilities through: Phishing attacks Malware Distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks A cyber attack on financial institutions is usually catastrophic, with the IMF quoting that companies lose over $100 billion a year.
Tokenization & Encryption All sensitive payment data is encrypted and tokenized, reducing the risk of databreaches. Regular Security Updates Keeping security software, firewalls, and protocols up to date helps mitigate vulnerabilities and prevent databreaches.
