At a time when the dominance of Big Tech companies is under attack and there is political and economic turmoil, protecting your corporate data is more important than ever.
At a time when the dominance of Big Tech companies is under attack, protecting corporate data is more important than ever. There are concerns about privacy and the concentration of economic power. At the same time, economic uncertainty, fueled by trade wars and protectionist measures, is creating an unstable business environment. In this context, it is crucial for companies to keep their data in-house and adequately protect it from external threats.
Availability, Integrity and Confidentiality
Most organizations are familiar with the principles of Availability, Integrity and Confidentiality. This classification emphasizes the need to protect your corporate data from loss, corruption and unauthorized access.
Availability
By properly protecting data, you ensure that it is always available when needed, which is crucial for business continuity.
Integrity
he protection of data ensures that data remains accurate and reliable. This is essential for making informed decisions.
Confidentiality
Corporate data often contains sensitive information such as customer data, financial data, risk assessments and business strategies. Leaking this information can lead to loss of trust and reputational damage.
Data management in your own environment is crucial
- Control: By keeping data in your own environment, you have complete control over who has access and how the data is managed.
- Adaptation to Specific Needs: You can tailor security measures to the specific needs and risks of your business.
- Compliance: It is often easier to comply with regulations such as GDPR when you manage data in your own environment.
Practical tips for data protection
- As an organization, make sure you always "in control" are of your own corporate data.
- Strong passwords and authentication: Use strong passwords and two-factor authentication to prevent unauthorized access.
- Regular backups: Make regular backups of your data to prevent loss due to ransomware, for example.
- Separation of production and backup data: it is advisable to separate backup data from production data and not house both within the same cloud service. This reduces the risk of a single vulnerability compromising both sets of data.
- Use of AI agents in home environments: Use AI agents within your own restricted environment. This ensures that your prompts and responses do not end up in public models, ensuring the security and confidentiality of your corporate data.
- Training and Awareness: Make sure employees are aware of the risks and know how to handle data securely.
Being "in control" of your corporate data is an important starting point in information security and compliance.
