As we transition into a post Covid era, it's more important than ever that we have effective processes in place to protect our invaluable data.

Hardware and software failures, data corruption, ransomware attacks, or simple accidental deletion can result in lost data, and missed revenue. So here are our top 4 tips to help you stay ahead:

1. Tighten your security beyond usernames and passwords - Companies should strive to use more secure tech such as digital certificates that combine with biometric capabilities like facial recognition. 

2. Back it up and then Back it up AGAIN - Keeping consistent backups of all devices and platforms is critical. Businesses need a flexible, scalable solution that meets their growing backup requirements. Having one back up of your data won't suffice, consider backing up your data on 2 separate platforms with one stored off-site for disaster recovery.

3. Review the Applications that have access to your data - Companies should only allow access to their data from apps they trust and that they can manage. Even for trusted apps, they should implement policies dictating how, and with who, data can be shared. 

4. Verify Networks - Use platforms that give IT teams maximum visibility over all endpoints that are being used to access business data. Also, for access to sensitive data, users should be on trusted networks only.
