Using the data provided by the “Q1 Data Breach Report,” I can see that the companies/organizations that are targeted the most are healthcare and business-related. This shows that these fields are not only important, but hold lots of data that could be valuable to cyber criminals. Researchers can use this information to predict which companies/organizations might be more likely to be attacked and how to potentially stop the attacks from even occurring. This data collection is important for researchers and anyone in the cybersecurity space to be able to predict, adapt, and prevent cybercrimes from affecting millions of potential victims.
