#2 “The Inside Job”
Financial Services Companies Face Internal Data Theft.
Protecting yourself from inside threats is difficult to predict and hard to identify. Insider data theft may be due to a malicious employee taking or selling your corporate data, or making an unintentional mistake. These breaches are significant enough to make front-page news headlines, causing irreparable reputational damage to the companies involved.
Is data security at the heart of your operations?
Take proactive steps to mitigate the risk of insider data theft, including:
- Establishing an acceptable use policy
- Training employees on all procedures and policies relating to cyber security
- Providing a means for employees to report suspicious activities conveniently
- Remaining especially vigilant when employees leave the company
Even for the IT-savvy, navigating the mass of security information and technology solutions can be daunting, but becoming cyber secure doesn’t need to be as challenging as it may appear. It starts by identifying and prioritising your risks to build a solid foundation for improvement.
