In addition to internal breach risks, organizations cannot discount the potential for an outside event to enter their environments and wreak havoc. Certain events can cause widespread attacks that quickly place a large number of organizations at risk. A prime example is the MOVEit hack that began in May 2023 that many are still reeling from. Understanding the effects that widespread hacks can cause and the best resources to tap into if one occurs is critical. Let’s digest the MOVEit breach as an illustration.
