I recall an experience I've faced in my career to date has to be the key role I played in helping HollisWealth (a division of Scotia Bank) to develop with their new clients from Chelee Financial in 2013.

With recent breaches of Apple and Home Depot, neither company readily communicated with the public exactly what had happened, not admitting publicly what happened until after a thorough internal investigation in juxtaposition to Target quickly admitting its breach publicly in creeping increments (Kenealy, 2014). Many believe the public backlash Target received from their slow step by increasing step approach with their breach will…
