and up-to-date. It is simply about Reputational risk. Reputational risk (damage to an organization through loss of its reputation or standing), can arise as a consequence of operational failures. Every company understands reputational risk, particularly businesses who regard their brand as one of their most critical assets. Google is one of them. They have a reputation to maintain.
On the other hand, every company understands that TJX is still in business, and didn't take all *that* big a hit on their stock price. Reputational risk for computer security will start actually *mattering* once a well-known company takes a big enough hit on a security issue that they end up bankrupt. Till then, nobody *really* gives a flying #$#*& in a rolling donut about it.
