The Data recovery document should be refined to include the priority of data restoration when all business functions have been compromised
This analysis discusses some issues and requirements to correct these issues that are outlined in the Turn Key University (TKU) data breach case study. In addition to these issues and requirements, some applicable laws will be discussed and some controls will be suggested for implementation.
The first point of analysis is related to National Data Breach reporting which main goal is to protect consumers against identity theft and incentivize businesses for better cyber security. Businesses are required to inform the consumers if the intruder had access to the consumers’ personal information in order to prevent further damage or loss. The information security policy of State of Maryland is set forth to provide any data breach incident

The Policy was detailed and thorough, making it possible for employees to begin recovering data as soon as a data center becomes operational. The backup schedule was followed, resulting in no loss to proprietary data. The ability to recover data means that very little funds will need to be spent on research that has already previously been accomplished. These funds can be used to recovery other physical assets, and be put to use in developing a more robust Disaster Preparedness Plan.
Scope of the policy: This policy document defines common security requirements for all Practice personnel and systems that create, maintain, store, access, process or transmit information.

This case study, written in 2009 is not the only case where a major data breach has occurred within organizations. In the late 2011 Sony’s PlayStation Network (PSN) was breached impacting up to 77 million user’s accounts including data on names, address and possibly credit card details. In late 2013 Target had a cyber-attack that compromised a large quantity of its data and had 110 million accounts compromised. Finally in September 2014 Apple had their iCloud server breached by hacking that compromised all the users of the online server. These occurrences still have some unanswered questions and several experts have yet to decipher the actual reason as to why the security breach occurred.
Besides the hefty penalty, the settlement includes a corrective action plan requiring Affinity to use its best efforts to retrieve all hard drives that were contained on photocopiers previously leased by the plan that remain in the possession of the leasing agent, and to take certain measures to safeguard all electronic protected health information.

Confidentiality must be met in the storage, processing, and transmission of data in an organization. For example, we are going to look at a major recent data breach. On March 8, 2017, the US department of homeland security sent Equifax and notice to patch a vulnerability in versions of the Apache Struts software. On March 9, Equifax dispersed the information to applicable personnel. Although told to apply the patch, Equifax security team did not find
With the increase in threats over the past few years it is no longer acceptable for an organization to feel data is protected
Data breaches happen daily, in too many places at once to keep count. But there is some huge breach versus a small one and we will take some examples from the biggest or most significant breaches of the 21st century to show how much risk or damage the breach caused for companies, insurers and users or account holders.
Data breaches are increasingly common as companies are faced with securing a multitude of networks, devices, applications, users, and files used in the course of conducting business. And with global workforces and the rise of cloud computing, security perimeters are more difficult to define than ever before. These issues combine to create a perfect storm – a climate ripe for hackers to take advantage of. (Lord, 2017) Below are the trending data loss trends to watch out for:
It is important to note that whether an attack is perpetrated by a hacker group, other corporations or individuals, organizations must always prepare adequately through intrusion detection and prevention systems in place. Data breaches can have very devastating business and social impact to large businesses and their customers – the users. For instance, were Cloudflare attacked by a competing company, their trade secrets could have given the opponents ammunition to take them out of the field. In addition, lost data could influence criminal activity if for instance particular client information, for
