publication that Facebook is &#8220;stepping up efforts&#8221; to find and acquire a suitable, major cybersecurity firm which could leverage its expertise to protect the network.<\/p>\n<p>Facebook has reportedly approached a number of cybersecurity firms and discussions are underway &#8212; although it is not known which companies are on Facebook&#8217;s radar.<\/p>\n<p>However, the sources said that the social networking giant is looking at companies which offer solutions that could be folded into Facebook, such as analytics, suspicious behavior monitoring tools, or account risk assessment

small security oversight can have disastrous consequences.<\/p>\n<p>It will be interesting to see if a cyberecurity-based acqusition can help reverse Facebook&#8217;s recent
