Malicious actors who go after your personal and private data are getting harder and harder to detect. This is particularly true in the booming world of e-commerce. Messages from hackers disguise themselves as links to pay additional customs fees on commodities you may have ordered online, when in fact their true agenda might be to get hold of your bank accounts or passwords.
When the information presented to users seems legitimate, they often rush ahead with the call to action. Sometime hackers may send out mobile notifications calling for a bank card replacement saying you need only click the link. Such links might not be secure and could compromise your data.
Attempts at non-consensually acquiring sensitive data have always been prevalent. However, phishing activity has doubled during the pandemic due to the subsequent increase in online activity. This may be because hackers now have easier access to secure information or due to the carelessness of people.
Enterprises may face huge penalties for lack of compliance that results in a breach of sensitive data. Furthermore, the damage to reputation in the event of non-compliance can have a significant impact. So it is absolutely critical to protect sensitive data in today’s increasingly digital world.
Prioritize the Safeguarding of Corporate Data
Information Technology (IT) is known for needing more robust defense systems than other departments. IT data is sensitive and a breach in such information can spell disaster for the entire organization. This pertains to both consumer and employee data. Modern, digital technology must be leveraged in order to protect corporate data and ensure it is kept private in accordance with compliance regulations.
Monitoring access to sensitive data is essential and a modern solution that provides centralized monitoring and control over these privileges ensures that such data stays safe. However, strategies must cover every operation where sensitive data could be compromised. End-to-end encryption with both printing and scanning can make sure that information doesn’t get into the wrong hands.
Ensure Data Transfer & Printing is Secure
Implement measures to securely obtain and send data on a public or private internet connection instead of one inside. This corporate firewall can give admins control over secure printing or data transfer, independent of the internet connection. Plus this entire process can be done without compromising security.
This proceeding can however not stand in the way of those looking to complete office related print jobs outside of the building. This is where internet printing steps in. It enables staff to print office documents at any place without an expensive VPN. All printing and scanning is documented and can be audited later.
Internet printing does not call for any change in extant company printing policies; therefore they can still be enforced. Even when scanning a document elsewhere, the options would remain the same. Employees who are working remotely can have access to company information at any point of time.
