Information leakage / Data Loss Prevention (DLP)
Trust Evotec´s experience, do not leave any door open to possible leaks
Companies are currently facing a growing security problem relating to data breaches, whether intentional or accidental. Corporate information can be compromised due to technical faults, cyber attacks or human error, particularly as a result of the loss of mobile devices and external storage devices. Furthermore, the increasing use of mobile devices and their use for both personal and professional purposes makes information more vulnerable.
Benefits of a Data Protection and DLP Audit
Be aware of your sensitive data.
Clearly identify where sensitive information is stored.
Restrict access to the information.
Find out what data your employees handle and what data they access.
Decide which information you need to keep and which you don’t.
Implement the appropriate safety measures.
How to prevent data breaches
Use of passwords
The use of secure passwords must be mandatory for all computers.
Data Encryption
We recommend encrypting both hard disks on laptops and external storage devices (USB drives, etc.), which can easily be stolen or lost.
Employees
Training your employees so they do not fall into the most common threats such as company email phishing and limiting the use of email and personal social networks in company systems will help greatly to avoid potential leaks.
Firewall Filters
Having protected and monitored network connections of the company is critical to prevent possible attacks to the company network as the management of users.
Software/Hardware DLP
Using a DLP security solution that includes anti-virus, firewalls, browser protection and proven protection against online threats among others is key against loss of information. These solutions monitor and alert you about the most common risks.
MDM
Use some software to manage mobile devices given their boom and the BYOD tendency in the companies (Bring your own Device), to use the smartphone or personal tablet for working.
Experts Supervision
it is advisable that your company is verified by an expert company like Evotec to be able to guarantee all the actions mentioned above and to establish an internal security audit from time to time where all processes are reviewed and improvements are made.
