Companies of every size are handling larger and larger amounts of sensitive data, storing more information in the cloud or email accounts. Your customers trust you to keep their sensitive data secure. After all, data is considered the new ‘oil’ of our generation and should only be accessible to the right people at the right time.

So how do you protect your data from theft? Below we have some cyber-security tips for you.

Secure Single-User Authentication

Data security starts and ends with authentication. Companies should begin with having secure individual logins for their employees, and then implementing authorized levels of access for their authenticated users. Assigning trackable digital identities assures that the people accessing your data are who you think they are and that they are actually authorized to access what they’re using. In this way you are protecting your data-- and you can prove that you are protecting it.

Educate Your Team

In the end, people ultimately control what happens to your data. Be sure to educate and properly train your employees on how to keep data secure, including a solid understanding on today’s potential security risks- like mobile security, wireless networks, and authentication. When people understand the risks and how they can prevent it (thus protecting the company and their jobs), they are more likely to make decisions that help to protect and secure data.

Hire a Professional 

Good data security system is critical these days- a data breach means you risk losing all your customers trust and business! It’s recommended to bring in a third party, such as a cyber security or e- discovery forensics firm, to supervise and perform occasional cyber-security audits. Hiring a third party will ensure you are both following the best practices and for legal liability shift. There are too many variables to make a blanket recommendation, so having a professional ensure your data is properly encrypted, with safeguards in place, and ultimately handle your cyber-security is the safest approach.
