Cybersecurity Awareness Month is among us, and the recent data leak case at one of the leading health insurance providers is a stark reminder of just how critical cybersecurity is. Online safety needs to be prioritized by individuals and companies as a result of this high-profile occurrence that highlights the possible implications of data breaches.
Even as one of India’s leading private Health Insurance companies, they couldn’t escape from being the target of targeted malicious cyberattack. This led to unauthorized and illegal access to sensitive data. This event highlights how susceptible big, well-known companies are to cyberattacks.
A data breach could have serious consequences. Once breached, sensitive data can have disastrous consequences, such as identity theft, monetary loss, and harm to one’s reputation. The ongoing risks are illustrated by past incidents, such as the Capital One breach of 2019. The recent data leak is yet another example of the increasing threat landscape.

Therefore, it is our responsibility to be informed on cybersecurity best practices that will help us as individuals and as an organization in preventing risk from entering our lives.
Below are some recommended measures that can provide you an advantage in protecting your personal and company data:
