Protect your Business from Security Breaches
How are you protecting your business from cyberattacks? Are your company’s user credentials on the dark web?
Nowadays, strict regulations exist for the data a company owns. Because of increasing digitalization, companies hold much more data than they might realize. It’s important to protect this data, especially sensitive data such as personally identifying information. In some countries, the CEO is liable if the company fails to comply with data regulations. Data is a company’s most important asset, in part because it helps with decision making.
What is Data security?
Data security means protecting digital data, such as those in a database, from destructive forces and from the unwanted actions of unauthorized users, such as a cyberattack or a data breach. Data security also ensures data is available to anyone in the organization who has access to it. Data security and privacy must be aligned to effectively implement consumer privacy protections.
Data security includes the following domains: 1. Securing personally identifiable information with techniques including encryption 2. Database security 3. Data permissions and role-based access control 4. Data roles and responsibilities For example, data owner is an important role
