Remember more innocent times back in early 2017? Before Petya, WannaCry, leaked NSA vulnerabilities, Equifax, and Uber, the state of data security was anything but rosy, but I suppose there was more than a few of us left — consumers and companies — who could say that security incidents did not have a direct impact.

Just how cautious are Americans when it comes to cybersecurity?

Data is a company’s most valuable asset. To maintain data’s value, it’s vital to identify where that data is vulnerable. According to data and ethics expert Dr. Gemma Galdon Clavell, there are five major moments where data is most vulnerable: collection, storage, sharing, analysis, and deletion. These vulnerability points increase the risk of a data breach – and we’ve all heard about the costs of having one.

While the cost of a cyber attack is often discussed, we seldom hear about just how common these attacks actually are. Numerous security experts believe that a cyber attack or breach of catastrophic proportions is no longer a matter of if, but a matter of when.

If you could take the temperature of data security risk at more than 700 enterprises around the globe, what would you find?

Implementing a least privilege model can be time-consuming and expensive, but important in any data security strategy. The Varonis Automation Engine helps you automate the process, and drastically reduces the time required get there. Previously, we discussed automating data access requests to achieve incredible ROI by cutting down on help desk tickets. We also briefly mentioned the enormous amount of work involved in finding and fixing global access–a task which can drastically reduce the risk of data leaks and security breaches.
