Great article in CFO World regarding corporate data breaches and how company CFOs and CIOs must work together to prevent security risks. Three major “headline grabbing” breaches included Sony, TJ Maxx, and Hannaford supermarkets. Each knows from experience how costly a breach can be to a company. These are big name companies, but don’t think that smaller businesses are exempt, because they are not. Today hackers know that there is likely often more opportunity with smaller businesses, than larger ones. Frankly, smaller companies are often easier targets.

CFOs have fiduciary responsibility for protecting their company’s data and this article gives some good advice on how the financial and the IT world battle these challenges. Check it out http://www.cfoworld.com/security/25284/finances-key-role-data-breach-war
