We live in a world of digital and all your personal information whether you realize it or not is stored on devices such as smartphones, computers and tablets. So, keeping your information and system secure when threats are constantly around is a huge challenge for both businesses and individuals.
Digital security is broad term that covers many different techniques and strategies for protecting systems and information from cyber attacks. It is the process of ensuring that all departments are aware of the importance of having safe practices and procedures, as well as how they can defend themselves from cyber-attacks and hackers.
For instance, it involves limiting access to important data by restricting who can use it and when. It also involves ensuring that no other person can access your system without being authorised to do so by implementing zero security of trust.
It is an essential element of modern-day business operations, and protecting digital information is vital for keeping trust, ensuring privacy, and fostering a secure online environment.
It is suggested that a team consisting of people be set up (often called a Security Council), who are responsible for ensuring that everyone in your company follow safety guidelines and understand how to defend themselves from cyber-security threats. The team should consist up of members from the IT, management and communication teams. They must also meet regularly to review existing and new procedures. They should provide ongoing training to the other teams to ensure that they know the different types of threats and the best ways to respond to threats.
