The recent WannaCry ransomware attack is more proof that it’s just not possible for any organization, regardless of size, to entirely prevent professional cybercriminals from breaching their data networks. There will always be someone out there with the skills and motive to figure out how to penetrate even the most expensive, most comprehensive, most state-of-the-art cybersecurity system. The U.S. Department of Justice has even released a guidance document outlining best practices for developing response plans to an inevitable breach.
Perhaps a good analogy would be to consider home security. You can purchase and deploy the most sophisticated home alarm system available, but it doesn’t prevent a criminal from penetrating that security.
