With the rampant spread of coronavirus worldwide, the business landscape is having to change to protect ourselves from any further spread. Employees are being encouraged to work from home if possible, classified conversations are becoming video calls and important data is being managed on potentially unsecured clouds and devices. As a result of these changes, the risk of data breaches is growing as businesses are struggling to monitor and ensure the security of their employees’ activity.
In these times, it is important that proper data protection etiquette is not lost on businesses as the impacts of a data breach are still damaging during an epidemic. Regulatory fines and loss of consumer trust can still cripple companies who lose focus on maintaining strict data security.
With traditional, hardware-based encryption techniques, implementing data protection outside of the office is a logistical nightmare due to the complexity it involves. Employees working from home require access to potentially sensitive business data, which provides a greater surface area with more points of access for hackers to attack, making it easier to steal sensitive data from unaware companies.
This is where Randtronics’ software-based DPM solution can assist businesses looking to implement flexible data security options throughout the coronavirus epidemic. To ease the burden of trying to protect both employees and sensitive data, we are now offering 6 and 12 month DPM packages for companies trying to maintain adequate data security through this difficult time.
To protect your company’s data during the epidemic, proper encryption of employee laptops, servers, clouds, internet facing applications, databases and containers is required to ensure home offices will not compromise data security. Using Randtronics DPM’s encryption in combination with firm data handling policies can protect businesses from data breaches.
Here at Randtronics, we recognise the greater risk of a data breach at this time, but do not recommend any company ignore advice to prevent the spreading of coronavirus. The health of the general population should be the number one priority at all times.
To ensure your company’s data is secure and prevent the risk of fines, contact us as soon as possible!
