All types of organizations are at risk of being targeted, but financial
institutions top the list of the most at-risk businesses, Trend Micro found.
Cyber-threats, data breaches and high-risk
vulnerabilities have continued to dominate the first half of 2014, with attacks
affecting consumer’s personal information, included theft of data such as
customer names, passwords, email addresses, home addresses, phone numbers, and
dates of birth, according to a report from Trend Micro.
The data breaches and Distributed Denial of Service
(DDoS) attacks recorded this quarter showed that an organization-wide strategy
is required if companies wish to survive their aftermath.
