Modern business is dependent on securing data. In fact, a lot of IT experts say that ensuring security protocols are followed is a non-negotiable priority. However, implementing a suitable solution to protect enterprise data is a difficult task due to the sheer volume and variety of data organizations must manage.
No matter if it’s data at stationary or in motion it’s a huge challenge. The world has changed from a time when all data was tied to physical devices and locations under the control of an organization. Today, enterprise data can be found on end-user devices or in multiple cloud environments or even on an employee’s personal computer.
Remote work has opened up new possibilities for cyberattacks and leaks. Employees who must jump through hoops to gain access to mission-critical systems are more likely to find ways to get around them. This can include saving engineering photos in their personal email accounts or copying and pasting the information of a product into tweets.
To counter these threats, an approach that is multi-layered for data protection is needed. A comprehensive plan may include encryption, access control backup and disaster recovery, DLP and IDPS as and employee training. It is also crucial to be aware of, detect and respond quickly to any breaches. This includes enforcing an Zero Trust model where users as well as devices and network traffic are checked prior to granting access to trusted resources. This will stop an infection in one place from spreading further across the entire enterprise.
