Researchers can use this information to spread the word on the many types of data breaches, how often they occur, and what you can do to prevent it from happening. In the effort of doing this, it allows for others to see the possible mistakes and weaknesses of their security allowing everyone to implement safeguards and training for all employees to ensure the safety of information for the company or organization. Adding proper security and awareness through training used in the research can prevent data breaches that causes significant losses such as financial loss and loss of reputation.
