Even the toughest firewall is not invulnerable to cybersecurity. Protecting the integrity of sensitive information at workplace can get even more challenging with internal risks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A study<\/a> carried out by Shred-it, an information security firm in USA found that employee negligence is the major cause of data breach. Approximately 47% of business leaders in the report identified lamentable human errors such as accidental loss of documents and devices. In consequence, this resulted data breach in the organizations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In a separate study<\/a> by IBM, data breach has caused great financial damage at an average of USD $3.86 million for affected enterprises. The massive loss is sufficient to raise eyebrows for prominent organizations and could even potentially mark the end of smaller enterprises. While profit loss can be mitigated with extreme measures such as employee layoff, the loss of consumer confidence erode good impressions towards the enterprises. Massive data breaches experienced by established enterprises such as Yahoo, Uber, JP Morgan Chase, and ebay<\/a> inspired PR nightmares and fierce controversy on cyber security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Update workplace policy<\/strong>: Enforce clean desk policy to ensure no sensitive information is left freely accessible. Closely monitor rules on remote workers and external vendors. Review periodically on the mechanism of BYOD at the workplace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Secure physical access to information<\/strong>: Shred paper documents when necessary and store documents in desk drawers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Dispose old hard drives correctly<\/strong>: Deleted files on hard drives are not fully removed from the storage. It must be destroyed to prevent any chances of retrieving them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Make sure employees are well-informed<\/strong>: Employers must be made aware about whom to call if they accidentally dropped or lost a device.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Most enterprises may have existing policies to cultivate good cybersecurity habits among employees. However, employees may find themselves in challenging scenarios whereby such rules were not immediately recalled and applied. To truly protect data integrity, repeated coaching is necessary to imprint such rules in their minds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This is where training comes in to further enhance the skills of employees. Training matched by acute awareness will create an impenetrable mental firewall against cyber attacks. High importance on CompTIA+ training must be stressed upon for cybersecurity professionals. As the gatekeeper to confidential data, it is essential to equip them with skills to withstand increasing threats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Make the best investment for your enterprise and say yes to\u00a0CompTIA Cybersecurity courses. Starting from only RM3500, your valued employees will undergo rigorous training to prevent unwanted incidents.\u00a0 Level up your technical specialists with experienced specialists in the industry.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Even the toughest firewall is not invulnerable to cybersecurity.
