How Secure Is The Data Of Your Organization?

Data privacy and protection has not been an easy task for organizations, given the potential risks leading to financial losses that they face today.

Data protection is no longer an option. Today, data privacy and protection for organizations across industries has become a must-have and is one of the most critical aspects to eliminating risks to the overall business workflow. In order for organizations to accelerate their digital transformation journey, it becomes essential to adopt a modern approach towards data protection. With regulations like GDPR in the EU not only changing the data protection landscape but also challenging the business landscape, organizations in India and globally need to treat these developments as business opportunities rather than a compliance burden.

“Technology is witness to rapid change which proportionally increases vulnerability and risk. Security professionals need to ensure they know the technical changes and understand how to safeguard company assets.

For instance, the BYOD (Bring Your Own Devices) concept is gaining more traction in companies, and it rests on IT and security professionals to ensure that employees can use the personal devices without much hassle while, company data and assets stay secure. Also, regulations like the recently launched GDPR give a lot more weightage to an individual’s privacy. This makes security of personal data a top priority for companies.

Additionally, selecting the right cloud provider and the underlying service (private, public or hybrid) is an important consideration when it comes to data protection. Increasingly, organizations are moving towards cloud data storage which makes it essential that we understand the cloud provider’s security practices and liability aspect, alike,” said Gyanesh Ojha, Information Security Lead, Thought Works India.
