Compromised devices and data protection: Be prepared or else

2021-03-12 05:30

Implementing effective layers of protection to prevent data breaches stemming from compromised hardware requires vigilance across several fronts, from encryption to remote access controls to more effective employee training.

Remote data deletion and data quarantine capabilities are essential.

Businesses require security solutions that enable remote oversight of sensitive data, even when that data is accessed and stored across countless employee-used devices in myriad locations.

With the right tools and strategies in place, an organization can immediately revoke data access and delete their company's data from compromised devices remotely, as assuredly as if the device was connected to a secured local network in an office setting.

Security administrators can remotely quarantine data on devices as well, revoking access temporarily as a precaution when risks are uncertain.

Employees are ultimately the caretakers of their devices and the data access they're entrusted with.
