It is very easy to stop data breaches. Make C-Suite executives and the board of directors personally liable for any breaches caused by failing to have appropriate security controls in place. I bet once a few of these executives were bankrupted for failing to implement adequate security controls, things would change pretty quick. These executives get paid a large sum of money, and then skirt all responsibility when these things happen. They get fired and move onto the next gig like nothing ever happened. There is no accountability for these failings. In Ancient Rome the builder/designer of an arch was required to stand under it as the wooden scaffolding was removed (the most dangerous time). It is high time we re-introduced accountability into our governance systems.
