DATA PROTECTION & CYBERSECURITY

Data is the most valuable and most risky component that an IT organization handles. Without data, no one can run a business. As such data must be secured, protected, and kept at minima.

Additionally, legal regulations such as GDPR, CCPA and others, have reinforced ownership of the data and imposed rules for any business company on what to do with personal data collected. individuals are more and more knowledgeable on the sensitiveness of their personal data and so are more and more demanding in protecting it.

On another angle, over the last couple of years, businesses have been working overtime to gain an edge with the rapid technological change. However, businesses are not the only ones putting their fingers to the bone. Cybercriminals are exploiting every technical vulnerability as and when they crop up. They have a worldwide landscape and take advantage of the rapid technological change.

All industries must carefully analyse and monitor their data and access to it to resist as much as possible to cyberattacks. A proactive approach must be taken to evaluate the risks associated to the data managed within the data centres. iLuSo Consulting can help your organization by:
