Protecting Sensitive Data: The most important and the most lucrative asset to businesses and cybercriminals

“With 2.1 million-plus ‘detected’ phishing sites on the web, only 5% of the world’s information is protected” - Forbes

Our lives and governed by a multitude of digital services and enterprises are no different. Be it resource planning, financial management, operations administration, workflow management, supply chain planning, or business strategy making, digital solutions and platforms lie at the heart of every task firms initiate daily. And, with such deep digital penetration, comes the overwhelming abundance of information, in rest or in-motion (dataflows across multiple IT points). Cybercriminals, in essence, hack enterprise systems to get hold of this very lucrative asset: data.

Only 10 trillion US dollars: Cost of Cybercrime inflicted on the business world by 2025

20 Billion: Approx breached records since 2019 especially on sensitive data

200 Zettabytes: Data the digital world will store by 2025, half of them on cloud platforms

Think about it. Employee details, personal identity numbers, payment information, workflow data, or key business-sensitive information; hackers can cause mayhem to enterprises with such ‘weapons’ and derail them altogether. Hence, the primary need to bolster enterprise protection and adopt advanced cybersecurity solutions is to strengthen data security at its core: static info and dataflows across datacenters, VMs, servers, web assets, platforms, architectures, devices, networks, endpoint environments, applications, cloud environments, and more. Trust us, overall and generic cybersecurity strategies only achieve limited success compared to specialized data security solutions and services.

The Challenges: Why opt for Specialized Data Security Solutions and Services?

Icon for Digital Information Generation

Enhancement of digital services adoption in daily living has exploded personal and employee information generation, connected to sensitive activities such as finance, healthcare, etc. Enterprises need to view employee personal data as equally sensitive to critical business information.

Icon for Sensitive Data on Cloud

Over-abundance of critical business information and sensitive data of resources, be it static or in-motion across all operations, workflows, and departments. The utter need to protect personally identifiable information with encrypted data.

Icon for Monitoring Threat Data

The variety of sensitive data across multiple availed channels make it difficult to track and monitor threat sources

Icon for Data Security on Cloud

Increased adoption of third-party enterprise systems, platforms, and applications contribute to the complexity of data security architectures

 Icon for Search Data Leakages

Potential vulnerabilities and software-hardware level loopholes that allow data leakages or failed data loss prevention. This includes sensitive people, resources, and business information on hosted assets: sites, applications, systems, VMs, servers, networks, etc.

Icon for Dark Web Activity

Increased dark web activity. Employees and business systems fall prey to malicious links, files, and codes that steal critical information and sell on the dark web

Icon for Remote Work Collaboration

Remote work connectivity across disparate geographies, working on different systems contribute to increasing enterprise vulnerabilities.

Icon for Data Loss Prevention

Increased data breaches in organizational IT perimeters lead to catastrophic consequences such as failed data loss prevention, often derailing enterprise functions completely

 Icon for Connected Business Data

Exploding rise of connected devices in enterprise ecosystems lead to a gargantuan flow of connected data (usually to important personal info), raising the stakes to increased vulnerabilities

Icon for Data Security Awareness

Lack of proper knowledge and awareness and assessments in deploying current methodologies, frameworks, and modernized data security solutions without compatibility and performance issues

Icon for Compliance Audits

Limited compliance to national and international standards without periodic assessments and audits

Icon for Complex Cyberattacks

Exponentially increasing types and complexities of cyberattacks on especially sensitive data of businesses and resources
