Currently when writing this, there are 6 major breaches in the first 3 months of 2026. An estimated total of 810 Million records that are out in the wild. When I’m tracking these events, it doesn’t mean anything. Just 810 million pieces of information that can be used to wreck havoc in somebody else’s life but that day when I reading about the breach, I didn’t think I had any data with that company to be breached. Then the mail came and I got a letter from the company. Jokes on me.
The cost of maintaining an IT network with things you need to run a business is expensive and most of these poor companies had tools in their infrastructure to protect them. Until it didn’t.
Now I’m seeing new vendors come out with tools necessary to protect you from the biggest hit. No, not more cyber security tools. They’ve essentially given up saying, we can’t compete with hackers using AI. So now we’ll just tighten up your compliance, documentation and audits so you can prove that you…um….tried to protect you data. That keeps the lawyers away, reduces the fines have to pay.
Oh you still have to fix it, which may mean taking your critical systems off line for a while, to fix the problem. Lost revenue there but at least you didn’t get sued.
We do have a problem.
