Information Security

Keeps phishing at bay

Just like people are suffering from the pandemic, businesses are also suffering cyber-attacks due to weak security practices.

The success of any business is contingent upon three factors:

  • Competition
  • Customers
  • Product

To maintain a sustainable competitive edge, a product has to solve a customer’s pain point and do so better than the competition. But without adequate Information Security (IS), the product – and the business – will suffer.

Data Tidbits

To achieve any kind of objective, data of some kind is required.

It is estimated that by the end of 2025 the amount of data in the world will reach 175 zettabytes (1 zettabyte has 21 zeroes)! Owing to this information explosion, it is difficult to keep track of the data that we put out.

The repercussions of data falling into the wrong hands are catastrophic for the product as well as the business.

In what way will this guide be helpful?

It is very important how to consider implementing non-functional requirements; at the right time, the right way and using the right methods. Considering non-functional requirements at the right time will save a lot of time and effort in the long run.

Security breaches can be a disaster

  • In financial terms, it is it is estimated that by 2025 the cost of global crime will hit USD 10.5 tn.
  • In 2019, US retail giant Macy’s faced a data breach when its customers’ personal information was leaked on the dark web. This led to its stock price plummeting by 11% and led to its CIO getting fired.
  • Social media giant Facebook was no exception. Due to weak information security measures more than 500 million users’ data had been hacked and posted online.
  • BigBasket faced a similar predicament in November 2020, when personal details of 2 crore users were leaked and put up for sale on the dark web. In April, the data was finally leaked online.


Safeguarding a product and the data that goes into product building is crucial. Product Managers (PMs) and Founders need to be mindful of the data being released by their products and must monitor the data across all stages of the product lifecycle.

Owing to the growth of digitalization, often PMs must don the hat of technical product managers. To support Product Managers in their journey of Information Security, we have put together a one-stop guide – ProdSafe.
