Let the “Mother of all Breaches” Be a Wake-up Call

The Mother of all Breaches should act as a wake-up call for both society and companies. The breach not only highlights the need to protect data, but also the importance of continued innovation in cybersecurity. After all, cybercriminals are not going to sit on their hands and will continue to refine their tactics. Only through collective efforts and dedication can we build a digital future that harnesses the power of big data without compromising the security of this data.

The “MOAB” database, even though it might also contain a bunch of old (and sometimes outdated) information from other breaches, might be processed in order to correlate data in it. Any one given piece of information might not be an issue in and of itself, but in conjunction with other data points, a problematic picture emerges which can expose a lot more than you might initially believe. Add AI technologies to this mix and you might at one point get the “Grandmother of all Breaches”.
