The rise of high-profile hacks makes it seem like it’s a part of our daily lives. Large companies like Uber are all over the news because of the scale and severity of their breaches. Unsettling breaches close to home like the recent hacks on some Nest smart home products reminds us that hacks and breaches can happen to anyone. Unfortunately, our increasingly connected world makes it impossible to avoid the hacking danger zone. The best we can do is learn from past hacks and breaches in the past and see how we can best prepare ourselves and our businesses.
