Sanket Sarkar Warns of Severe Fallout from Data Breaches, Especially Involving Financial Information

Sanket Sarkar, Co-Founder of Zeron said, “Data breaches, especially those involving sensitive financial information like credit card details, can have serious consequences for individuals and businesses alike.

First and foremost, it underscores the importance of robust cybersecurity measures not only within organizations but also across the entire ecosystem of third-party vendors and partners. Collaborative efforts and strict vetting processes are crucial to ensuring that all entities involved in handling sensitive data adhere to the highest security standards.

Additionally, incidents like these highlight the need for proactive threat detection and response capabilities. Organizations must invest in advanced technologies and strategies to promptly identify and mitigate security breaches to minimize the impact on affected individuals and prevent further damage.

Furthermore, transparency and timely communication are essential components of effective incident response. Credit card holders impacted by the breach deserve to be promptly informed about the incident, the potential risks to their data, and the steps they can take to protect themselves, such as monitoring their accounts for suspicious activity and implementing additional security measures.”
