The Role of Technology in Supporting Corporate Cybersecurity

As companies race to transform their digital systems to keep up with the times, there is one crucial factor that needs to be taken into account: "security". To ensure security is maintained across every line of business, you need to ensure the role of every employee in maintaining security, oversee the entire work process, as well as manage the configuration of technology to be used.

So, what is the role of technology in supporting cybersecurity? What steps need to be considered? We will discuss everything in detail in this article.

Why Is Technology Security So Crucial?

Ignoring the implementation of security in technology usage can open up various dangerous loopholes. Ranging from unauthorized access, malware attacks, to data leaks of sensitive company and customer data. The impact is serious; in addition to significant financial losses, public reputation and trust in the company can disappear in an instant.

Therefore, to achieve digital transformation, companies must not only adopt new technology, but also have an obligation to implement monitoring on the technology used to protect all of their digital assets.

Technology Usage & Monitoring That Needs to Be Considered

To ensure digital security, you can implement the following steps:

• Data & Network Activity Monitoring
  By carrying out comprehensive monitoring of data & network activity, it will help the IT team identify suspicious activities and reports much faster before they become more serious threats.
• Network and Endpoint Protection
  Implementing basic to advanced protection, such as Firewalls, Antivirus/Anti-Malware, and data encryption can serve as a first layer to ensure data traffic and networks remain secure from hacking.
• Digital Access Control with Restricted Access
  Applying the principle of Least Privilege (only granting access according to the scope of work) and strengthening it with the implementation of Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) can prevent unauthorized access from occurring.
• Physical Access Control
  Just like digital access restriction, physical access to server rooms and work devices must also be monitored and protected using technologies such as keycards, PINs, and biometric verification (fingerprint or facial scanning).

Key Points

Technology is an important factor in maintaining digital security. By combining technology, monitoring work processes, and pairing them with security awareness from all employees, you can achieve a safer digital transformation for your company.
