What can you do to avoid data breaches in your organization ?

Listly by Mad Rever

The most common data breaches and the solutions you must consider to set up within your organization in order to protect your data.

The most common types of data breaches are :

  • Stolen data / hacked (from inside or outside sources)
  • Administrative errors (human operator mistakes)
  • Mistakenly online exposition (insufficient protection or application vulnerabilities)
  • Visual hacking (workers accessing data from their mobile or personal devices)
  • Data loss (malwares, espionage)

What you should do to prevent most data breaches :

  1. Foster data ownership : someone must be responsible for data inside an organization and must control access to data (Chief Data Officer or Information Security Officer). This centralized access will productively diminish the risk of a data breach from the inside but also anticipate most illegal attempts coming from the outside.
  2. Calculate the risks : managing teams must feel the need to participate in the security program, it will benefit every department since it will allow them to feel more concerned with regard to costs and efficiency.
  3. Protect your data : decision, action, response. Think of your needs and obligations, choose the best solution available according to your needs, quickly react when a breach actually happens.
  4. Stay vigilant : proactive monitoring of your data's access, constant watch and maintained awareness within all levels of the organization.
