Paradigm Change
Some of these top lessons are the same on song and dance. We need to remember that the best practice is a layered defense. You need to secure and encrypt the data and encrypted access to the data. If the data is secured from access and encrypted, it makes it a lot harder for a hacker to figure out how to get the data, unencrypt it and not get caught in the process. So many systems now are capable of software based and hardware based encryption. Protecting the data should always be priority #1. If you value it, it should be protected and passwords are not protection.
