The Importance of Digital Security
We live in a time in which everything is digital and whether you realize it or not, your personal data is stored on devices like computers, smartphones and tablets. So, keeping your data and systems secure when threats are constantly present is a major challenge for both individuals and businesses.
Digital security covers a variety of techniques and strategies to protect information and systems from cyber-attacks. It involves ensuring that all departments understand the importance of having safe methods and procedures, and how they can defend themselves against hackers and cyber-attacks.
For instance, it involves restricting access to important information by limiting who are allowed to access it and at what times. Zero trust security is used to ensure that no one is able to access your system unless they are authorized.
It is a critical aspect of modern day business operations, and protecting digital data is essential to maintaining trust, ensuring privacy, and fostering an online environment that is secure.
In order to do this it is recommended you create a dedicated team comprised of individuals (often known as a Security Council) that are accountable for ensuring that all employees of your organisation follow safety protocols and are aware of how to protect themselves against cybersecurity threats. The team should include representatives from IT and management, finance and communications teams, and must regularly examine new and existing procedures. Additionally they should provide continuous training for all other teams to aid them in understanding the different kinds of attacks and how to respond quickly whenever a threat appears.
