The most vital part of any organization is its corporate data. Sony Pictures Entertainment was the victim of hackers that saw the release over the internet of yet to be released movies, scripts of movies that are in production or ready for production, celebrity remunerations, spreadsheets with details of the names, addresses and contact details of all Sony employees. But some say that this is only the tip of the iceberg and predict that more data will be released in days to come.

This attack shows that everyone is vulnerable to data theft and therefore Information Security is something that needs to be taken very seriously. These days keeping company secrets a secret is a huge challenge because of the growing competition. Internet has revolutionized the world of business making it easy for everyone to interact real-time with clients, suppliers and partners that might be sitting miles away and businesses are also able to store data digitally. Since all the business transactions and transfer of data is done online and the information is stored in servers that can be accessed via the internet, therefore a company should invest wisely in its Information Security. The Sony Pictures Hack proves that Sony did not have the right security measures in place because they clearly did not understand what their information security requirements were which made them a sitting duck for hackers.


Summary: The Sony Pictures Hack has exposed the threat of data theft and vulnerability of a company if they do not invest proper resources for information security.
