What is Data Protection and Why Does My Business Need It?

Your business’s most valuable asset is its data. You’ve created it, and it’s in your best interest to ensure it stays secure and accessible to the right people. Keeping your data safe should be one of your greatest priorities and investments.

What is Data Protection? 

Data Protection is the process of safeguarding your information from compromise, corruption, or loss. As the amount of data continues to grow at exponential rates, protecting it is now more important than ever. A proactive approach to data protection includes not only cyber security, but network infrastructure solutions that innovate for efficiency and peace of mind. 

Why Your Business Needs Data Protection 

In late 2019, CNBC reported that cyberattacks “now cost businesses of all sizes $200,000 on average,” with 43% of attacks aimed directly at small businesses. And according to a post from the Washington State University Carson College of Business, data breaches harm more than a company’s financial standing. They also jeopardize trade secrets and tarnish a business’s reputation, leading consumers to second-guess working with you as they fear identity theft. 

When running a business, managing IT systems and network security can become a full-time job in itself, presenting a learning curve with each new technological development or cyber security challenge. How prepared is your business to deal with the following potential issues? And how much time can you spare to deliver optimal protection?

• viruses
• malware
• employee access and user accounts 
• passwords and authentication 
• firewalls
• mobile devices
• data backup
• wifi networks
• payment systems
