Vulnerabilities in data security. Do you know yours? Preventive measures.
Most data breaches are not caused by “super hackers,” but in everyday life by incorrect access rights, misdirected mail, lost devices, human error – or ransomware. Which technical and organizational vulnerabilities can be relevant as preventive measures in data security and data backup to avoid a data breach? What needs to be done? And what is important? What is the best way to proceed?
1) Quick check: Where are your biggest risks?
- Which data is business-critical / particularly sensitive?
- Which processes run daily (mail, cloud, file sharing, CRM)?
- Who has access – and really needs it?
2) Technical prevention (the “Big 6”)
- Test backups + recovery (otherwise ransomware is a total loss)
- MFA everywhere, especially admins, mail, VPN, cloud
- Patch & update discipline (systems, apps, devices)
- Encryption of laptops/phones + secure key management
- Logging & monitoring (so that you even notice attacks/incorrect access)
- Segmentation & Least Privilege (minimize access, limit damage)
3) Organizational prevention (where most breakdowns occur)
- Authorization concept
- Clear rules for sending data
- Standard processes for file sharing/cloud
- Training
- Device & paper protection
4) Preparing (because prevention is never 100%)
- Incident notebook: who decides, who communicates, who documents
- Quick risk assessment (report? inform? measures?)
- Templates for internal reporting, management information, customer communication The webinar will give you clarity and a plan:
- You reduce the risk of downtime, reputational damage, reporting stress and fines.
- You get clear priorities instead of 100 measures without effect.
- You will receive an implementable roadmap that fits into your business processes.
