In olden days if someone had asked this question, your answer would’ve been love, health, happiness, relationship and many more. But when you ask someone the same question now, the answer will be only one. “Importance of Data protection”. Specifically, if you ask the same to a business man he will definitely give you only one answer that is “Importance of Data protection”.
For a business or an enterprise or an entrepreneur, their most valuable thing is the data. It contains the business transaction, contacts, and everything which is responsible for running the business. Just like money, these data get a value to them and it should be preserved as any other valuable thing you preserve. And the Importance of Data protection is very crucial now.
Imagine a situation, your call center received a call from your customer asking for his account details and you are unable to give it to him from your data. Because all your data is encrypted by someone and he is holding the key and asking you for a ransom. Nobody wants to be in such a bad situation. We are good people but we can’t expect the rest of the world also to be filled with good people. There are bad guys too. So Importance of Data protection becomes serious now.
This is age of technology and innovation, where everyone in dependent in one way or another on our Laptops, Tablets or Smartphones, making it easier for us to work and store data efficiently. How are these data preserved? By protecting your network and devices from infiltration.
The only way to protect our data is to secure it as much as possible.
We have seen various cases, where people were totally helpless and had huge losses in their business due to the ransomware attacks. They couldn’t protect their data.
People are less bothered about their data until they realize the importance of Data. But it could be too late. We built big and strong houses, but we always fix a door in it. A network with no security is similar to a house without a door. It is more painful when someone is denying your access to your own data than someone is stealing it. Now a day’s people don’t want to steal your data and sell it to your competitors. They simply deny your access to it. They know that you will give anything to get the decryption key and they know the importance of your data better than you. We recently saw some incidents, in which some companies lost their money by paying ransomware and losing their business as well.
Ransomware attacks are happening around us every day. But we don’t hear about them. We give attention to it only when it becomes a big news or when we lose our data.. But it could be very late by that time. We can avoid that situation by strengthening our IT security, paying few hundreds today instead of losing many thousands tomorrow is a wise decision for sure. It will keep your data safe.
