3. Some items, such as
a prized painting, are
present in our daily lives.
Others, such as the
deed to your house, may
require added security.
4. Many people invest in
fire-proof safe deposit
boxes to house their
“crown jewels.”
This increased security
should also apply to the
way companies secure
their sensitive data.
5. For companies, crown
jewels usually include
mission-critical data,
intellectual property,
personally identifiable
information (PII) and more.
6. Thanks to their
speed and scale,
virtualized
environments
are an ideal home
for sensitive
information.
8. However, according to
Kaspersky Lab, security
attacks on virtualized
infrastructure can
cost twice as much
as attacks focused only
on physical servers.
9. To protect your
crown jewels
from being
exposed, focus
on the following
tips for securing
virtualized data:
11. Only 56 percent of companies
are specifically prepared
to manage data security in
virtual environments – and the
estimated cost of a virtualized
data breach is $800,000.
14. If your bank was raided, you
might cancel your account
and withdraw your savings.
After a breach on your
company’s data, your
customers might consider
the same types of actions.
15. Employees can follow
guidelines for safe file sharing,
compliance and secure login
tactics to help protect your
brand’s integrity, credit
score, customer relationships
and legal ramifications.
17. By protecting data at
its core, regardless
of the surrounding
environment, your
security strategy will
meet the needs of
your virtualized and
physical data stores.
18. If you can look inside
your data and quickly
assess its contents, you
can identify risks and
protect your company
from the inside out.
