Atlanta Security Firm Works To Stay A Step Ahead Of Hackers

The holiday shopping season is closing in. Some retail outlets already have Christmas displays up, even though Halloween isn’t even here yet.

Last year, hackers breached debit and credit card scanners at Target, stealing thousands of customers’ personal and financial information from the company’s database. Atlanta-based Home Depot was also targeted.

The theft of customers’ information from businesses across the U.S. in recent years has led to questions about corporate responsibility and security systems.

The president and CEO of the metro Atlanta security analytics firm Lancope, Mike Potts, joined hosts Rose Scott and Denis O’Hayer on “Closer Look” to discuss the responsibility of a company’s board in making sure the business is secure and that customers’ personal data is secure, as well.
