Corporate Lessons to Learn from the Sony Hack What started out as a bit of #news only of interest to #ddosprotection and #cybersecurity firms has quickly become one of the biggest news stories of 2014. Were talking of course about the #sonyhack and the resulting fallout from it. And while Black Lotus and others have been preaching the importance of cyber security for years, Sony Pictures Entertainment might be the lightning rod to truly get the discussion moving for some companies, as this article in Fortune Magazine explains: “I think the scale of this impact on Sony is what’s going to make a lot of C-suites sit up and say ‘Wow, we really do need to take this seriously,” said Rob Sloan, head of cyber data and content for Dow Jones Risk & Compliance. Preventing similar hacks is easier said that done. Companies already invest huge amounts of money to keep their computer systems secure, with varying degrees of success. All it takes is one weak spot for a would-be intruder to exploit. Corporate security teams are redoubling their efforts following the Sony hack, fully aware that their businesses could very well become the next Sony-style victim. The takeaway from this piece? That cybersecurity concerns and decisions are now moving away from the #IT department of a #business and into the board room. #news #sonypictures #hacking #blacklotus #security
