Australia's top-ranked university has confirmed it suffered a massive data breach leaking students bank and passport details dating back 19-years https://t.co/FbKwpRoSYE
Terry Burgess, Vice President for Asia Pacific and Japan, SailPoint:
“Organisations today are still woefully exposed unless they have a truly comprehensive identity governance program in place that governs access to both applications and sensitive data. Organisations require clear oversight into the sensitive data they have under management— and who has access to that data. Having these controls and visibility in place will minimise the risk and impact of a data breach. By not having an all-encompassing approach to identity that covers all users and their access to all data, organisations are contributing to an open season for hackers.”
