    • Leveraging technology is a concept that is not going anywhere anytime soon. How does your organization guard against a breach of your personal information? Provide at least 2 examples and support them with evidence.

    In order to guard against a breach of data or personal information companies should ensure that personal information is stored in an encrypted database and they should have multi-levels of passwords that are required to access any database that stores personal information. These passwords should be changed frequently.Encrypting data turns the data into a format that only people with a key or password can read. Setting multiple layers of passwords ensures that anyone trying to breach the data will have a more difficult time and changing them often makes it even more difficult as they could very well change once one was figured out before they can breach another layer.
