Too many cyber crooks have embarrassed major companies and businesses by breaching into their data over the past year. Many cite the problem being that those companies didn’t use proper data loss software to prevent the hackers from taking data. Others believe the bigger issue is that companies don’t manage their data efficiently, exposing sensitive info to cybercrooks that the companies don’t even need.
The solution isn’t focusing on one or the other, since both need to be addressed. Data Loss Prevention software must be updated regularly, along with having the company’s IT staff consistently read up on newer software and steps to help keep their data in-house. The other issue is for companies to safeguard and note who has access to specific data in order to have a trail set in place in case there is a breach. They also should delete data that is no longer necessary in order to have less information that it needs to protect. Having such plans in place can save time, money, and headaches in the future.
