How Far Can You Push Your Luck With Data Leaks?

Are Criminals After Your Lucky Charms?

In 2020, the pandemic caught many executives by surprise.  Their managers were faced with the dilemma of whether to proceed with initiatives that were required, but perhaps not fully vetted for cybersecurity risk. One initiative commonly rushed was data migration to the public cloud.  Did you know the most common error when moving to the cloud is misconfiguration leaving your data exposed?  If you feel like criminals are after your lucky charms, you are not alone.     Criminals constantly seek sensitive data they can sell.  In 2020, criminals upped their efforts to steal data because changes in business increased the volume of data openly available to steal.

Common activities that increase digital risk

Think of your corporate initiatives last year.  Did you complete initiatives that increased risk to your data, such as those listed in the box to the right? If the answer is, “Yes,” to any of these activities, there is a high likelihood your organization’s date is leaking on the web, available for criminals to steal.  Common activities putting your data at risk include migrating to the cloud, digital transformation, and remote access to data via any device or network.  If you’ve gone to the cloud without monitoring for data leaks beyond your enterprise perimeter, don’t count on luck to keep your data secure.  Any IT professional will tell you when data is moved outside the IT perimeter, it changes the cybersecurity game entirely.
