Hmm..what to do?

Todays article is by a law firm that analyzed the large data breaches and discovered that 50% of the breaches above 1,000,000 records were caused by BA and 44.8% of the breaches between 30,000 and 999,999 were also caused by BA. The Ponemon Institute Study reported 46% caused by BAs which reinforces the argument that the BA is an area of great vulnerability for the covered entity.
