“Cyber Breach at Target” Case Questions
1. What is your diagnosis of the breach at Target—was Target
particularly vulnerable or simply unlucky?
2. What, if anything, might Target have done better to avoid
being breached? What technical or organizational constraints
might have prevented them from taking such actions?
3. What is your assessment of Target’s post-breach response?
What did Target do well? What did they do poorly?
4. What lessons can you draw from this case for prevention and
response to cyber breaches? What do you think companies can
do better today to protect themselves from cyber breaches and
in their post-breach response?
