Researchers can study security vulnerability trends, industries, and cause of a breach over years with information at PrivacyRights.org. Comparatively comparing publicly disclosed incidents, attack techniques such as insiders, phishing, and malware can be studied through such studies. Effectiveness of security controls in most companies can be studied, and impact of such incidents can be studied in terms of financial impact, compliance with laws and legislation, and consumer privacy. Researchers can even study overall impact of a breach over public trust and company reputation. All such information can inform guidance in terms of policy, develop cybersecurity planning, and predictive modeling. By studying such factors, researchers can work towards predicting future vulnerabilities and developing techniques for averted a breach and overall work towards cybersecurity development.
