Feb 11, 2020
No organization is immune to data security threats. But as your IT environment becomes more complex — for example, through the adoption of cloud technologies — it’s even harder to implement the data protection you need to protect your business. Many organizations struggle to protect critical data, such as intellectual property, personally-identifiable information covered by various regulations, and sensitive financial data.
The best way to help prevent data leaks and data loss is to build a layered defense strategy. You need to reduce your attack surface, actively look for suspicious activity and insider threats that could lead to data breaches, and plan an effective response strategy.
