C.an Y.ou A.nswer Data Security

 I recently spoke about how non-technical staff can and should help protect organizations from cybercriminals, identity thieves, and scammers in a master class. 

There were lots of tips on where the biggest security risks lie within an organization, what to address with employees and best practice policies for ensuring consistency moving forward.

However the main focus of the master class was to create thought starters for each individual to reflect upon their own organization and their actual readiness for a cyber attack or data breach.

 95% of cyber related incidents are caused by human error and 94% of malware is being delivered via phishing emails. Just focusing on those two factors would greatly improve any organization's chances of avoiding a cyber attack.

Our data protection program, “Can You Answer” focuses on this. We quickly and painlessly create a cyber secure culture within an organization and train employees. We also assist with implementing our preconstructed security best practices.

So why is it called “Can You Answer”?. 

The answer is very simple. When an organization has a data breach and the FBI arrive (which they will)  they are going to ask you; “Can you answer a few questions about how you were protecting the data before the breach?”

 The answer to this question will probably reflect whether or not a business is still in business within six months. The fines and fees associated with not proactively protecting personal identifying information of clients or employees is very expensive.

 60% of all small businesses that experience a data breach go out of business.
