1. Explain whether you believe adherence of regulations such as PCI are enough to protect a company from these types of breaches and why or why not.
2. Give your opinion on whether companies should formulate security controls based on anti-cybercrime techniques, such as end-to-end encryption, or those based purely complying with industry regulations. Provide a rationale with your response.
3. Suggest at least three (3) additional security controls and techniques based on the Heartland and similar breaches such as TJX. Provide an explanation for your suggestions.
4. Determine the types of monitoring that could be implemented to help quickly identify penetrations and hurdle the “point-in-time” security protections that regulations, such as PCI, provides.
