What's the one thing that could have prevented a data breach?

I find the root cause of big data breaches rather fascinating. It’s often one small oversight that leads to snowballing disaster.

Think of a major breach you’ve read about. What’s the one single biggest preventative measure that could have stopped or at least minimized the damage?

For the business owners here, what’s the one thing you would never compromise on when it comes to protect your customer/product/sales data, etc?

Email is very often the initial attack vector because its so simple! Threat actors need little expertise or experience to begin exploiting it. And once they’re in, it can snowball quickly.

Protecting your email, through dns record policies (like DMARC, SPF, DKIM), suspicious email analysis, and MFA/strong passwords is one of the main things we recommend for Shopify stores
