David Zimmerman, president of LC Technology, contributed an article to InformationSecurityBuzz.com on protecting and managing your data. If you own a business, this article covers steps you can take to insure the security of your data, and what to do in the event your data may need recovering.
Properly managing data should be a top priority for businesses of any size. Information is the cornerstone of most businesses, whether it’s data about a patent or groundbreaking new product or the personal files of tens of thousands of customers. And it’s not just documents or Excel files that are vital. A company might have photo or video content from a recent trade show or an engaging showcase about a new product. In either case, the data is valuable and deserves attention and protection. Since most data is now digital, companies have to protect and properly manage this information in order to maintain competitive advantage and avoid potential legal repercussions.
