When the FBI calls you at 5am, it’s never good news.
As Chief Information Officer at Orion, a fast-growing chain of gastro-pubs, Tim Smith was about to find out that he had a serious 30,000 of his customers had just had their credit card data stolen from Orion’s mobile app, known as Millenial.
As Tim and his team investigate their data leak, they realize their many mistakes – from the development process, to their update schedules, to their auditing process – and begin to learn not only how to fix the problem, but what to do to prevent data leaks in the future.
Breached! is the story of how companies get it wrong, and what they can do to make it right.
This was a disappointing book. It is very similar to The Phoenix Project, but not as good (not as novel). The most frustrating part though was that they totally didn't handle the breach and instead just explained how DevOps works. If you're not a security nor DevOps person you may enjoy this more. However, I would recommend reading the Phoenix Project instead.
