Privacy Rights

In Privacy Right’s breach database there was statistics on different job sectors that were impacted by cyber attacks. The information on the data breaches provided on the website are the number of impacted individuals, the time of occurrence, and the affected job sector. Analyzing these types of data can help researchers identify areas of weakness within a certain job sector and help predict potential risk impact of certain data breaches. Researchers are able to forecast potential data breaches based data such as recent occurrences of data breaches in a particular job sector. Not only can researchers predict affected job sectors but researchers can also develop protective measures to combat hacking trends within data breaches.
