Mitigating Fear, Safeguarding Information: Unlocking the Secret to Secure Data

Technology is one of the most powerful forces in business success and transformation today, driving new avenues of value delivery, access to new markets, increased consumer satisfaction and augmented experience — the list goes on. When a business has evolved, learned and grown so much over the years, adapting and integrating emerging technologies and new strategies, the last thing it wants is to have is all of its hard work undercut. Yet, data breaches and cybersecurity are a looming threat to the growing number of enterprises operating in the digital sphere, with many organizations struggling to find ways to feel truly protected against malicious attacks.

To date, the globe’s biggest data breach exposed personal information associated with 3 billion accounts. Of course, cybersecurity calamities like these pose huge financial setbacks for businesses, with the global average cost of data breaches in 2019 reaching $3.92 million. This loss of revenue and competitive advantage can mean that smaller entities are meeting their premature end as a result of data insecurity. However, the most critical pitfall is the lasting damage inflicted on the reputation and client trust that enterprises work so hard to build. In an increasingly competitive market where other providers are just a click away for customers, client trust and satisfaction are vital to maintain.

While the digital age presents many benefits, it also ensures that bad news travels farther, faster. Events like data breaches are not soon forgotten, penetrating the minds and market choices of clients and end-users more powerfully than ever before. Especially when a growing amount of sensitive information (such as that used by healthcare, finance, and education) is being stored, accessed and shared online, the stakes are only getting higher. As a result, creating a thorough and conscientious data protection plan is paramount.

Although the synopsis may appear bleak, hope is not lost. It’s true that the threat of cyber hacks and data breaches is expanding, but there are ways that enterprises can better safeguard their critical information for the future.
