9 Best Practices in DataSecurity For 2021

You need to stay on guard and ensure that your company's data is safe. 

Confining data security best practices to the organization's size never 

helped in the past, nor will it work in the future. 

From the server to the endpoint, around the network, at the office and 

the device of your customer, you should be everywhere, blocking any 

backdoor that could be out there. 

Why? Because the risk is real—and growing. It is no secret that though 

cybercriminals often target large businesses, smaller organizations are 

also attractive to them. The logic is simple. Small businesses usually 

follow a common "not much to steal" mindset by using fewer controls 

and easy-to-breach data protection strategies. 

Hackers accumulate consumer information with the clear intent of 

financially abusing organizations and consumers at large. In fact, 

according to Verizon's breach report, 71 percent of breaches are usually 

financially motivated. 

Clearly, what cybercriminals gain is what consumers lose, and those 

losses add up. 

Where Does Your Data Go and Who Uses It 

It is impossible to protect something that you do not know exists. 

Therefore, you need to recognize your data and its sensitivity with a high 

degree of accuracy. 

You should know exactly how the knowledge is being used, who uses it 

and when it is being exchanged. Dig out and categorize information from 

all over the world, including various devices and cloud providers, based 

on sensitivity and usability. 

Next, build data security best practices, programs, and protocols around 

it.
