      "Data security is always a top priority for engineers. Even with advanced encryption like AES, it still leaves us vulnerable. Hackers look for ways around authentication, which is susceptible to human error, but encryption is secured using mathematics. It becomes tricky when a user gets their information stolen and blames your company, but more than likely they had a weak password or it was compromised in some other way. So without placing blame, data engineers should implement ways to force customers to tighten up their security."

      You bring up a valid concern, indeed! Moving further into the conversation, consider adding thoughts on how you would encourage tightening up of security if it were entirely up to you.
