A duhet të shqetësohet organizata ime për shkeljet e të dhënave?

When data breaches make the news, it’s typically because it occured at a large multinational such as Yahoo, Google or Equifax. In fact, Yahoo has been the victim of many of the world’s biggest data breaches. This can give small businesses a false sense of security, in reality small businesses are as much of a target of data breaches as large corporations.
