Security for individuals versus companies

One of the fundamental questions individuals need to ask themselves is, Is there a difference between individuals and an organization? Individual security is less likely due to the attack service area. However, there are tools and sites on the Internet that can be utilized to detect and mitigate data breaches for both: https://haveibeenpwned.com/ or http://map.norsecorp.com/ are good sites to start with. The issue is that individuals believe they are not a target because there is little to gain from attacking individuals, but in truth everyone has the ability to become a target.
