A Cyber Security Case Study on eBay February 2014 Data Breach

Abstract— This report is an overview of some basic security associated services, that guard against risks to security of a system, using the ecommerce trading platform eBay February 2014 data breach, as case study. It covers some security policies, that not only detect the risks, but also outlines the conditions for a guaranteed protected system. Security procedures spot and stop incidents, therefore evaluating the security of a system demands an awareness of the procedures that implement the security policies. Correspondingly, basic knowledge of certain theories and trust, which lead to the risks and the extent to which they may likely be executed, is equally required. Human beings are the most vulnerable link in the security procedures of any system, and so should be taken into account while establishing policies (Matt Bishop, 2002).
