Adjusting to a major promotion, a wise colleague once remarked, “Management would be easy if it weren’t for the people.” The same can be said for cyber risk management. What’s more challenging: delivering an annual performance review, or discovering that a valued employee has smuggled valuable digital information through a backdoor? It’s easier to navigate conversations about attendance and personal objectives than to conduct investigations into internal data leakage (e.g., Confidentiality), fraud (e.g., Integrity) or sabotage (e.g., Availability) resulting in a reportable data breach or cybersecurity incident.

Data Breaches and Cybersecurity Incidents Defined

As we discuss data breaches and cybersecurity incidents, we’ll use Data Breach Investigations Report (DBIR) definitions:

Incident
A security event that compromises the integrity, confidentiality or availability of an information asset.

Breach
An incident that results in the confirmed disclosure—not just potential exposure—of data to an unauthorized party.
