Data security risks can be mitigated by:
Implementing robust encryption: Encrypting data both at rest and in transit ensures that even if data is intercepted, it remains unreadable to unauthorized users.
Regularly updating software:
Keeping all systems and software updated ensures that known vulnerabilities are patched.
Using multi-factor authentication (MFA): MFA adds an additional layer of security by requiring multiple forms of verification before granting access.
Conducting regular security audits: Regularly reviewing and assessing the organization's security posture can help identify potential vulnerabilities.
Educating employees: Training staff about the importance of data security and best practices can reduce the risk of human errors leading to data breaches.
