Equifax C.E.O. Richard Smith Retires After Huge Data Breach

I agree that seeing Equifax go bankrupt over this would be great. But do you honestly believe your data will be safe? All that time you spent hardening your architecture makes it safer, but not 100% safe. If it's hacked because of one mistake that one person made, would it be right to hold you criminally responsible?

There should be no avenue for single points of failure to result in catastrophic data breach. Neither architecture nor procedures should allow a single person to compromise the system, willingly or accidentally.

If you can't guarantee that the data can be kept safe, then you shouldn't rely your business on it.
