Data Breaches and Security

When large industries or even small ones with good security expose how data breaches were executed on their company it allows researchers to understand where exactly their security might be lacking. Human error can be a big part of data breaches so mainly double checking behind others can increase security. Also trying the same methods of breaching on your own website security can increase chances of safety. In 2018 the Marriott hotel franchise guest list was compromised in all locations world wide, potentially resulting in credit and debit card information being stolen and even location tracking of the guest after leaving the hotel. With this information other hotel franchises can test their own systems for the same potential breaching weaknesses. Heavily focusing on one area of security could expose other areas to weakness. Exposure and data breaches are inevitable but constant research on other companies and security testing can enhance reliability.
