Here's how you can safeguard data security and privacy when utilizing new technology.

To safeguard data security and privacy when utilizing new technology, start by assessing risks thoroughly. Identify potential vulnerabilities and compliance requirements, then implement robust measures to mitigate them. By staying proactive and vigilant, you can protect sensitive information and maintain trust with stakeholders effectively.

Couple other considerations for the risk assessment: - Understand where the data will be stored, and what if any data transfers are involved. This is particularly important if the data includes Personal information. - Determine which data is actually needed. Often, data might be collected/processed/stored ‘just in case’. Utilize the principle ‘minimally necessary’. The data you don’t have can’t be compromised….

Il faut aussi tenir compte des lois et règlements qui peuvent s'appliquer et donc le non-respect peut présenter un risque. Ce socle de sécurité doit prendre en compte le type de données mais aussi leur stockage ou transfert géographique.

Le chiffrement contribue à protéger les données sur plusieurs types de stockage même pendant leur transfert, il contribue à maintenir l’intégrité des données.

Point de fran?ais : le terme cryptage n'existe pas, il faut utiliser chiffrement à la place. Le chiffrement peut reposer sur plusieurs moyens qui ne nécessite pas nécessairement un token physique. Le protocole de chiffrement doit être solide pour éviter un déchiffrement par des personnes non autorisées grace à des outils faisant des tests de déchiffrements en temps réels.

Expanding on basic access control strategies, organizations can bolster their data security by incorporating advanced monitoring systems that track and log all data access activities. This real-time surveillance helps to quickly identify and respond to unauthorized access attempts. To streamline the management of access rights, businesses should consider implementing automated tools such as Identity and Access Management solutions. These systems facilitate swift updates to access permissions, reducing human error and ensuring timely adjustments in response to role changes or employee departures. Moreover, integrating machine learning algorithms can significantly enhance these systems' efficacy by detecting abnormal access patterns.

Point de fran?ais : l'authentification multifactorielle est réduite en MFA et non AMF. Le contr?le des accès doit aussi se faire sur le plan physique pour protéger les locaux de l'organisation. Un contr?le des accès du système d'information sans un contr?le accès physique aux différents batiments n'est pas suffisant. Si une personne peut rentrer facilement dans les batiments et accéder aux postes des employés ou directement aux serveurs, le système d'information ne sera pas protégé. Le contr?le d'accès repose aussi sur une bonne étanchéité des différentes informations avec la création de groupes et répertoires dédiés à certaines données (types, services).

Also consider updating your understanding of how the technology is used. Business processes can change; new features may have been added to the software; the software might be used in new ways. All these changes can create new or changed risk that needs to be understood and addressed.

Training staff to safeguard data security and privacy when using new technology involves several steps: 1. Awareness Training: Educate staff about the importance of data security and privacy, emphasizing the potential consequences of breaches. 2. Policy Training: Ensure staff understand company policies regarding data security and privacy, including acceptable technology use, data handling procedures, and reporting requirements. By providing comprehensive training and support, staff can play an active role in safeguarding data security and privacy when utilizing new technology.

Interactive e-learning platforms like Cybrary offer courses that engage employees with gamified learning experiences. Customized in-house workshops can be tailored to address the specific risks the organization faces, incorporating real-life scenarios to make training more relatable. Regular webinars with cybersecurity experts can provide insights into current threats and preventive techniques, while newsletters and alerts keep staff updated on global security issues. Visual aids such as posters and infographics in workplace common areas can reinforce best practices. Additionally, implementing a mentorship program where tech-savvy employees guide their less experienced colleagues can help foster a culture of security awareness.

To do this part effectively, the ‘people, process, technology’ triangle is helpful. Consider which tools (existing, new, combination), used how (process/procedure), by whom (in-house staff, service provider, others).
