Five Ways Businesses Lose Data and How they Should Prepare
Summary
An employee with access to sensitive data might use a weak password, or they might have a thumb drive containing patented trade secrets that they lose in an Uber. Employees are more likely to utilize their own machines or external hard drives as storage containers, which exposes them to potential loss because of a lack of a streamlined and company-approved backup plan. The prescription for preventing hardware issues is to purchase updated and sound equipment and to implement strict rules on moving data from the corporate servers to portable devices. And these criminals often leak data when ransoms aren’t paid, or they’ll find ways to leave it encrypted and essentially worthless. Through proactive planning, companies can train employees on best practices, avoid hardware and software issues and implement cloud backups and on-premises storage strategies.
