Data breach

A data breach happens when unauthorized access exposes sensitive data

What is a data breach?

A data breach is an incident where unauthorized individuals gain access to, steal, or expose sensitive information—such as personal data, financial records, or business secrets. Breaches can happen due to hacking, misconfigurations, phishing, or internal errors.

A data breach is like someone breaking into a file cabinet and reading your private documents—often without you realizing it until it's too late.

Example

An employee clicks a link in a phishing email and enters their credentials. An attacker logs in, downloads customer data, and sells it on the dark web—without being detected for weeks.

Sicra and data breach

Sicra helps organizations prevent and manage data breach through services such as security analysis, incident response, and proactive monitoring. The goal is to detect threats early, reduce impact, and ensure compliance with regulations like GDPR and NIS2.
