“With the latest arrest in relation to the TalkTalk breach, it’s unnerving to see the ages of those involved, but perhaps not surprising. With hacking tools and tutorials available freely online, anyone with enough time and inclination can teach themselves how to breach even the largest of companies. Businesses are in an era where a cyber attack is likely to occur. Having a solid plan of action in place (which all the key stakeholders are signed up to) and ensuring IT teams are as up-to-date as possible with the latest threats will help businesses protect against the unknown.”[/su_note]
