Highlights from the Google data breach

Google headquarters at Mountain View, California, United States.

In light of the news that Google suffered a data breach via a third party benefits provider, Barry Scott, CTO EMEA at Centrify, commented:

“Whilst the Google breach resulted from an email error, it highlights the risks posed by third parties. When it comes to IT security, you are only as strong as your weakest link. If a hacker can find their way inside the network, they will then seek any opportunity to elevate privileges, and completely circumventing existing company defences such as firewalls in order to reach their ultimate goal.
