How to Keep Business Technology Safe From Hackers

This segment is brought to you by ei empowering today's leaders to realize tomorrow's opportunities. Tenner News recently spoke with EI to discuss the best ways for companies to protect against cyber threats and foster consumer trust in the ever changing digital landscape. I recently found out more at the RSA conference in San Francisco. Take a look how has rapid transformation in the digital space really affected business models, especially in the ways they can be attacked with technologies like A I Blockchain and IOT, they're changing our lives, but they're also introducing new complexities with five G. We saw a huge explosion of entry points and access points for bad actors. So with these always on and always connected devices, companies need to ship their business models to keep up with these mega trends. So there are three prominent things that we're looking at right now to consider and that is continued expansion of entry points. Also, there are massive amounts of data and data types like unstructured data and time series data to figure out how to protect. And also there's a lot more dependency on external services. And third party vendors, companies need to make changes faster. So a lot of people talk about this idea of digital trust. What exactly is it and why is it so critical digital trust in the simplest terms is the expectation and confidence that a company is keeping your data secure and that their service, their services are reliable and always available at the core of Digital trust is trust. We're seeing threats bypass traditional approaches to securing data. And so companies again, three important things that they should be demonstrating to build, to build trust. The first one is protecting a user's right to protecting or securing their user data. And also for the key technologies that enable the core services that they use those technologies, they need to demonstrate that those technologies are safeguarded. Consumers can take their business elsewhere, they can tell their friends to take their business elsewhere. What are the top three tips ei has for companies that are facing this issue. Companies need to be thinking about a holistic approach to managing risk in the digital ecosystem. Digital trust has to be embedded in the company culture transformation has to happen at every level of the organization, privacy and trust processes have to be in the design part of the design, security and privacy have to be talked about in the planning phase. Companies can't wait for something bad to happen and then be reactive. They have to be thinking about those things and integrating it into their digital transformation programs to build consumer confidence and ensure that there is digital trust.
