The first link takes you through the original Target breach event. The second link is an autopsy of the event several years later.
For this response, assume you are an independent business continuity consultant to Target and supporting the internal review of the business continuity plan. Based on what you are able to read about the Target data breach, identify 2-3 actions you would recommend to the CIO to prepare for future cyber attacks against the network. You can use the second link (autopsy) to help formulate your recommendations.
Be specific in the recommendations as opposed to a general recommendation of either ‘assess risk’ or ‘educate the work force.” In other words, indicate what type of risk or what specific topics should be covered and be specific to the Target breach. Be sure to support your recommendation with at least one reference.
