By missing the upside of recent data breaches, we lose the opportunity to improve

In the wake of recent data breaches, focus is largely placed on what went wrong. The downside of focusing on the negative aspects is the missed opportunity to isolate and learn from what worked. The 2013 Data Breach Investigation Report (DBIR) published by Verizon reported that two thirds of breaches took months or longer to detect. In 4% of the cases, it took years. Yet a major breach was uncovered and acted on in a matter of weeks? That’s remarkable. Overlooking the upside: (more) rapid detection. Neiman Marcus, Michaels, and other data breaches are coming to light much quicker.”]
