Protection from Data Breaches

Any glance at the news is enough to make you aware that data theft is a trend that grows exponentially year over year. With organizations like Equifax, Yahoo, and eBay falling victim to hacking, it should not come as a shock that companies around the world are vulnerable, and precautions must be taken across the board.

It’s not just giant corporations who are at risk of data breaches though. Vulnerabilities in web applications, phishing scams, and even employee theft mean that all data everywhere is at risk of being targeted — regardless of organizational size.

Furthermore, as companies implement newer security technologies, attackers are continually developing new tactics for attack… and unfortunately, approximately 25% of data breach incidents are caused by human error.

With stakes at an all-time high, your organization must strictly adhere to its data protection plan to mitigate the risk of a data breach.

Effective data security is multi-faceted and must be implemented at every level of an organization. To break it down into 3 basic components, you have to keep your network secure, you have to educate your employees, and you have to be able to recover your data in case of loss.

3 Pillars Of Data Security

Network Security

Protect your network from vulnerabilities, malicious attacks, and accidental data leaks.

Data Backups

Back your data up to secure cloud servers, and have a Disaster Recovery Plan in place.

Security Education

Educate your employees about cyber threats, and learn the regulations and recommendations for your industry.

Best Practices

These foundational steps apply broadly and help mitigate common risks like phishing, breaches, and insider threats:

Use strong, unique passwords and enable Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) everywhere possible.
Encrypt sensitive data both at rest (stored) and in transit (moving across networks).
Implement least privilege access controls.
Classify and inventory your data.
Keep software, devices, and systems updated.
Backup data regularly and test restorations.
