GRC Tuesdays: How Machine Learning Helps to Improve Security Part 1

As our businesses become more digital in all dimensions, high-profile information security breaches are making the news headlines with increasing frequency. The recently-announced card hacking activity at online travel service Orbitz is just one of the latest examples. On March 20, 2018 Orbitz announced a security breach that exposed information derived from at least 880,000 customer payment cards. The breach took place between October and December of 2017, involving customer transaction records dating from 2016 and 2017. Although data captured on Orbitz.com was not affected, the company advised customers using Orbitz travel services within the past two years to check their credit and debit card billing statements from this period and to contact their banks if fraudulent charges were identified.
