Introduction
As per the provided scenario, National Australia Bank is the 4th largest bank
in Australia. In the year 2019, NAB connected around 13,000 consumers to
advise that several sensitive data delivered their account was uploaded
without authorization to the 2 data service communities. This problem lost
the data of consumers including name, contact information and other
financial documents and produced data breach concerns. After this attack,
it is found that this data breach occurred due to human error where the
team members were uploaded data to other servers that produced security
concerns. The purpose of the investigation is to review security issues
linked to the computing networks and describe effective security techniques
for securing data of users in NAB. This report will include numerous
sections, for example, an overview of the addressed problem, common
security issues, response of NAB towards a data breach, effective security
measures and techniques and role of cloud computing.
Overview of the addressed problem
It is determined that the employees of NAB uploaded data of 13,000
