An organization suffers a major data leak only six months after upgrading its security system. What should the organization do to ensure long-term security?

Extending data retention policy lengths governs how long data is stored but does nothing to prevent unauthorized access or future leaks.

Spending more on a security product does not guarantee protection, as the recent breach demonstrates that technology without expert strategy is insufficient.

Cybersecurity is an evolving discipline that requires continuous assessment, adaptation, and human judgment - capabilities that a static security product alone cannot provide. Hiring cybersecurity experts allows the organization to analyze the root cause of the breach, develop a comprehensive and layered security strategy, and keep defenses current as threats change. This addresses the systemic gap that a technology upgrade alone clearly failed to close.

Waiting for a more advanced system is a passive approach that leaves the organization vulnerable in the interim and still does not address strategic planning gaps.
