How to Provide Protection For Your Data
In a world where personal information has become a valuable commodity and the need to protect it is the top priority for individuals and businesses of all sizes. One breach can put customers at risk of identity theft or other financial harm, and it can expose companies to penalties, reputational damage, and even lawsuits. Luckily, there are numerous methods that can be employed to safeguard personal information as well as prevent hacking or theft.
TAKE STOCK
Plan to keep sensitive information in your company’s computers and files only for as long as it is essential. This could involve taking inventory of devices that record information, such as PIN pads and cameras for surveillance, and identifying connections between computers and external sources like the internet, computers used to support your network by service providers, or digital copier.
SCALE DOWN
Limit access to sensitive data only to those who need it. This lowers the risk of an insider attack or loss to hackers. Pro tip: Follow the principle of least privilege. This means that you grant new accounts the smallest level of access to sensitive data, and increasing the privilege only when they rise in rank or job necessity.
LOCK IT
Passwords should be strong and complex. Passwords that are easy to guess can be hacked within a matter of seconds and used to gain unauthorised access. Do not send passwords via emails in plain text. You should also secure all files that contain sensitive or private information.
