Bad actors are always lurking. This is why it is important for organisations to be vigilant in protecting personal data. Organisations should always remember that aside from the hefty penalty that the PDPC could impose, the organisation could also lose customers and potential clients in the future in case of a breach.
Setting cybersecurity safeguards and policies may not be enough to prevent a breach. This is because there could be hidden vulnerabilities that cannot be noticed firsthand. With this, when there’s a breach that occurs, organisations must conduct a data breach response to mitigate and stop the breach from incurring more damage to the organisation.
We rely on our smartphones in a day-to-day basis. However, for it to function, it needs to collect our personal data. However, with all its use cases that we enjoy daily, there is this risk that we have to live by; the risk of exposing ourselves to opportunistic bad actors using our personal data that was collected by our own phones.
Employees are considered the weakest link when it comes to the organisation’s cybersecurity. Provided that employees have access to the personal data that the organisation manages, employee sabotage is the biggest insider threat that must be addressed before it becomes a problem in the future.
