What is data security?

Data security is a set of protective measures designed to safeguard corporate data from unauthorized access, theft, or misuse. As people continue their transition to flexible and remote work, increasing data security should be made a top priority.

Secure the new world of flexible work

Every device that accesses corporate resources—including personal devices that are part of a Bring Your Own PC (BYOPC) strategy—should be healthy, secure, and continuously managed. The following types of workers are uniquely at risk:

Flexible and remote workers

Security and compliance are vital for flexible workers because all their communication occurs over the internet instead of within an organizational intranet.

Temporary and seasonal workers

People who enter and exit organizations frequently are at high risk for data loss. Strong data security practices can help prevent and identify inappropriate sharing, transfer, or use of sensitive data.

To be productive, people in limited roles need to be able to safely communicate with one another and must have secure, moderated access to corporate apps and services. Data security helps make this possible.

Reasons to invest in data security

Data security is essential to ensuring productivity—especially now that the corporate network often includes people’s personal devices. The following are some reasons to make data security a top priority.

Mitigate security risk

Flexible work doesn’t have to increase risk. Implement stronger data security measures to reduce the risk of data loss and cyberattacks.
