Often referred to as a “gold mine” or even its own form of currency, a company’s internal database of customer information, market data and employee records has increasingly become an organization’s most important asset. But for all the value this information offers, the cost of its loss or exposure by bad actors can be catastrophic for the collector, and the risk of a breach has increased exponentially during the rapid shift to remote work spurred by the pandemic. Not only must companies educate their employees about security measures in a rapidly changing online environment, they must also help workers to understand what’s at stake, and the implications of improper data protection. This webcast will feature experts and industry leaders discussing how organizations can best prepare themselves for potential attacks, and how using a Zero Trust model can ward against internal data mismanagement and external exposure. As the saying goes: the best offense is a good defense.
