It doesn't matter how big or small your business, or what industry you operate in, data breaches pose a real threat to all of us. In addition to monetary fines, a data breach can result in long-term reputational damage, business disruption, staff and customer churn.
Whilst businesses are busy investing huge amounts of money in the latest high-tech information security products, we shouldn't forget the importance of bolstering internal security through staff training and security measures such as encryption and access management. After all the second largest contributor to data breaches globally is human error.
Find out now how SafeToGo Solutions can help businesses of all sizes reduce the risk of a data breach due to human error, with their range of data security products.
