Why you need security optimization in 2021

In 2021,” going digital” is inarguably the best decision that any business can make. The benefits are numerous, spanning from reduced costs to exposure to new opportunities, adapting better to the new remote work culture, and increased prospects of upscaling businesses. Brands who believe this are taking quick steps to expand their digital footprint.

While that is a step in the right direction, we ought to be reminded that every space/ territory has its own threats. And, with the digital space, the chief of all threats remains cyberattacks as digitized processes could create new premises for attacks. This explains why optimizing security is of utmost importance.

Here’s a picture of threats evolving per territory. Organizations that still use offline storage mediums are constantly faced with the threat of losing data to natural disasters or fire outbreaks. This places cloud storage as a preferable data storage option for such organizations. However, on one hand, moving information to the cloud prevents it from being destroyed by natural means. But, on the other hand, this action creates a new surface for attacks which could also lead to data loss. Hackers are lurking predators, waiting to steal away data and extort money from organizations when the opportunity presents itself. Hence, to prevent data loss, and protect digital assets, organizations must invest deeply in security optimization.

What is security optimization?

Security optimization involves the process of evaluating an organization’s security system, identifying loopholes, and closing them up using security solutions. This robust process represents the strongest line of defense against the magnitude of cyberattacks that are projected to occur in Nigeria in 2021.
Weak passwords create a loophole in your security system and hackers are always ready to exploit that vulnerability.

In a statement earlier this year, Director, HP Nigeria, Ifeyinwa Afe, listed major loopholes that create room for attacks on businesses. She maintained that weakened organizations’ security would lead to more unintentional insider threats. She also added that human-operated ransomware and advanced phishing techniques would contribute to increased attacks on businesses.

Ifenyinwa’s predictions intersect with Deloitte’s 2021 cybersecurity outlook which reveals that hackers have gotten more creative and patient in launching attacks on targets and will be rolling out unprecedented techniques in their attempt to compromise their targets.

The need for security optimization

With the increase in the adoption of new technologies owing to the pandemic, hackers now have a broader target base. Judging by predictions and trends in recent attacks, hackers have proven to be more intentional in their approach to stealing from these ever-increasing targets. This is however no reason for organizations to withdraw from pursuing the benefits presented in the digital space.

The proven solution here is to factor security optimization into digital transformation plans. This ensures that while organizations are growing on the wings of digital, hackers are unable or at least constrained in their efforts to prey on them.
