Security is /has been booming for a while now. Everywhere you read about the amount of data being leaked. Now just yester day a  contractor named  Deep Root Analytics put a database online with 198 million potential voters open to download for the public on an Amazon S3 storage server. Well that person will have the worst day of his or her life.  Is this an uncommon thing? Well no, people are leaving data everywhere. We are very sloppy with our or the data of someone else. USB sticks, phone or laptop stolen, e-mails with data, We dump data everywhere and it's scary. In this article I'm going to talk about what my solution would be to prevent any harm being done after a data breach. Methods Let's start by just going through some possible solutions. Not just talking about the data itself but also the identity and the devices that a company uses.

Taking care of your identity is in this world one of the most important things to do. Loosing your (virtual) identity can cause a lot of problems for yourself (reset account, password, data loss etc.) and the company (risk of data loss). Managing an organization with a lot of accounts can be a time consuming job. Luckily Microsoft gives you Azure AD Identity protection to help you manage this.
