Businesses must remain vigilant to keep up with evolving technology, while keeping data secure. Failing to follow cybersecurity laws and regulations can lead to compliance issues, data loss, and the need to notify clients and regulatory agencies.
Through good planning, companies can create strong policies to minimize the chance of a breach, and to address any incident that occurs.
