How do you secure data in this ever-evolving business environment?

A big piece to me, is how you make sure employees understand that they can be hacked. They should be aware of the fact that it is very easy now for someone to go into your bin at home and pull out what you might have printed out. So how do you ensure that employees actually start to get what the concept of security is... and that actually, they own that. There is a certain amount of ownership that the employee has to take up. But what worries me more is countries that are actually trying to get into other countries' secrets. All the work that's going on in the biotech field, for example—that is very valuable information. So how are companies like Pfizer dealing with it? They have their entire ecosystem locked down without any connections to the internet. That's the kind of security that they have to go after. AWS is not even enough, which has great security by the way. I'm not picking on them. Any cloud provider has upped the game, but companies will have to think about what kinds of documents they need to keep away from the internet. Computers with that information should not even have any connection to the internet. How do we keep executive level information, secrets of the company, and patents and developing patents out of the hands of the guys that want to get it? I think the CISOs at every company will have to start to think about these things.CIO in Services (non-Government), 501 - 1,000 employees
You have to get the basics right. If you're in an old organization, that probably means gutting lots of old ways and systems so security is systemic and "easy."Content you might like

One of the biggest risks is LinkedIn. People can go on LinkedIn and figure out who is doing what, and addresses can be easily found on the web. So, your house is not secure at all. Easily somebody can get access to your devices. They know how valuable devices are sitting at home. So you encrypt the devices. There's a slew of things you have to do, including multi-factor and Sl. The companies that have done it, it's good. But some have not done it, like a lot of fintech companies because they used to work only within the four walls. All controls were in the four walls, not the device itself. Now we need to move all this into the security transaction level, application level. You have to up the security level. So there's a lot more opportunity and creativity, and companies are working on this. It is very critical to do and focus on this last-mile security.
