Online Data and Security
From your social media feeds to your online shopping carts leaving an unimaginable digital footprints which can be used to steal information or to commit other crimes by malicious hackers. Online Data and Security are more crucial than ever.
Data security is the process of implementing procedures, policies and technologies to protect data from unauthorised access and modification. Data protection encompasses physical, cloud and application security measures, such as access controls that determine who can see and do what with data. It also includes backup and recovery systems that ensure business data is available when needed.
As more businesses embrace remote work and grow their tech stacks the need for data security becomes more important. Additionally, regulatory compliance often increases the need for data governance and protection.
A data breach, regardless of whether it’s due to a hacker, ransomware attack or a simple human error, can cost a company millions of dollars in costs and lost revenue, and the expense of repairing damage. Customers could also lose faith in the business and go elsewhere to do business.
The best way to stop data breaches is by following strict privacy guidelines. This ensures that only authorized personnel have access to sensitive data and that the information will not be lost or accessed by a malicious attacker. It also involves ensuring that all devices connected to the network are secured and safe, including laptops, smartphones and IoT (Internet of Things) devices.
