Protecting Employee, Customer, and Partner Data
| It’s easy to forget how sensitive data can be. You’re expected (and sometimes required) to protect data about employees, customers, vendors and more. Here’s how to reduce your risk of a breach: 1. Segment Data to Limit Breach’s Scope – Keep data separated and utilize Least Privileged Access so successful breaches can be contained. 2. Keep your Firewall up to date – Make sure your Next Generation Firewall has an active IDS/IPS System to keep intruders out. 3. Educate Employees – The fact is, most breaches are the result of human error. Education is the best defense. Make sure employees recognize phishing, social engineering, and other common attacks. |
