This brief op ed is direct. And dire.

Thoughts on Data Security

Here’s the thing.

We’re seeing too many stories in the press about data security breaches. Thousands, often millions, of personal and business records compromised. Brand new victims, same bad outcomes every time. Time and again.

WHY?

This doesn’t have to happen as often as it’s happening.

An ounce of prevention … as the saying goes.

But too many are still taking cybersecurity for granted. Listen, if your system is still set up the way it was two years ago, you need to take seriously that your data is in danger.

That’s the only way to say it. And it’s the truth.

Too many security patches unknown or uninstalled ...

Legacy setups that haven’t been updated in ages ...

New and untested technological developments ...

Employees unfamiliar with phishing tactics ...

Changes of personnel in your business ...

Revolving administrators managing your network ...

Departed personnel and insider threats with unchecked access ...

Lack of an Incident Response Plan ...

Inadequate regulatory compliance ...

Reliance on the most popular commercial platforms (you know who they are) to keep their protection promises …

The list goes on and on.

You gotta keep up though. Seek and find your security gaps - before a cybercriminal does.

While you’re burning time and attention on other priorities, all these are reasons to recognize that there are dangerous vulnerabilities in your current network.

So it’s time to stop taking cybersecurity for granted.

It’s time to stop assuming IT has it all covered.

It’s time to stop thinking breaches only happen to other companies, never yours!

Just stop!

It’s time to get serious about protecting your data.

Seriously.

Are you aware that a data breach can end up costing you millions? By the time you pay ransom fees, legal fees, penalty fees, anxiety fees, lawsuit judgment fees to angry customers for breach of privacy, damage control fees to salvage your brand and reputation … it adds up fast.

Some businesses never recover from a breach. The fees alone may soak up all your liquid assets.

And even if you can pay, once you lose customer trust, your enterprise may pretty much be toast.

Do you have money to spend on a situation you could mitigate?

Now, of course, we all know that no enterprise network is perfect. But a hacker’s primary quest is to find that one vulnerability, just one open door. We’ve seen that cybercriminals are relentless and quite creative in their pursuit of getting dirty digital hands on your data.

Stop making it so easy for them!

There are things you can implement today – right now – that will save you both money and brand damage later.
