Security Breach

Describe one issue not mentioned in the textbook when using contracted security at an organization. Then, describe one issue not mentioned in the textbook when using proprietary security at an organization.

Yahoo is a company that experienced one of the biggest security breaches ever seen around the globe. Once a dominant company within the search engine sector, the company became a victim of cyber crimes. A total of 3 billion user accounts were hacked. Today, they are supposed to pay a total of $50 million to the victims (Jones, 2018). The account compromised its users’ real names and private details, creating a bad reputation for the company (Jones, 2018). The issue could have been avoided if the company had taken regular security updates on its system to detect any form of cyber-attacks. The regular updates do not need any extra funds as the IT team, and search optimization teams only have to upgrade and improve the current systems in a perfect way. The fact that the company used an internal agency makes the task easier based on easy coordination.
