Companies have always needed to protect their internal records and other information. In our Information Age, protecting information means protecting data. This is because data is stored on computers and in the cloud. Without implementing a cybersecurity plan, data is left vulnerable to hacking and general data loss events such as hard drive failures.
Examples of a basic information security plan would include having a firewall, using secure email, and encrypting stored data. Let's talk about these three topics at greater length.
Firewalls are Barriers
