The following questions are not only for individuals but also for businesses that are in possession of their customer's private, personal identifiable information. 

Do you have protection for your customers should your system get hacked? 

 

Have you considered what the financial impact might be for your business to manage what the law requires after such breach has occurred?

When your business' name makes the headlines, have you considered the impact it will have on your reputation in the community and what public relations costs might be to restore it?

How did the criminals get in? You will need to hire computer forensic specialists to find out how they got in and how to protect your business from further breach...what might this cost?

What legal expenses might you incur? Can you even afford any of this?

The forensics from two recent cases have targeted the government in China and Russia in cyberespionage where sensitive corporate information was stored. See the article in The Morning Call August 18, 29014 for more information about cyber forensics.

Another growing problem are extortionists who post negative and damaging content on social media sites in an attempt to ruin a company's hard earned reputation and then extort money from the business owner to remove the derogatory information.
